General Liability Insurance

Tools & Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine)

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

General liability helps protect your business if someone is injured or property is damaged because of your work. It is commonly required by contractors of all trades, property owners, and written contracts. We review your job requirements carefully to help prevent rejected certificates.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Tools & Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine)

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Workers compensation covers medical costs and lost wages when an employee is injured on the job. Requirements depend on your business structure and payroll. We help contractors set this up correctly to avoid compliance problems and expensive audit surprises.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS from contractors

 Here are answers to common questions we receive from contractors and construction professionals in Lafayette, Louisiana. 

What types of insurance do contractors need?

Most contractors need general liability, workers’ compensation, and coverage for tools and equipment. Depending on your work, you may also need commercial auto, inland marine, or umbrella insurance.

Do you provide certificates of insurance (COIs)?

Yes. We can issue certificates of insurance for contractors quickly to help you meet job requirements and avoid project delays. 

Is workers’ compensation required for contractors in Louisiana?

In many cases, yes. Requirements depend on your business structure, number of employees, and type of work. We help contractors understand what is required and avoid costly penalties. 

Are tools and equipment covered if they are stolen or damaged?

Tools and equipment are typically covered under inland marine insurance, which protects property that moves between job sites. 

Can you insure subcontractors or independent contractors?

Yes. We work with subcontractors, independent contractors, and small construction businesses to structure coverage that fits how they operate. 

How quickly can I get a contractor insurance quote?

In many cases, we can provide quotes the same day once we have basic business details and job information.

Why work with a local insurance agency for contractor coverage?

Local agencies understand Louisiana construction risks, contract requirements, and insurance regulations, providing guidance beyond a basic online policy. 

How do I get started?

 Request a quote online or contact our office to speak with a local agent who can review your contractor insurance needs. 

Do I need insurance to obtain or maintain my Louisiana contractor’s license?

Yes. The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) requires proof of insurance, including general liability coverage, to obtain or maintain an active contractor’s license. Coverage requirements vary based on license classification and business structure. We help contractors secure the correct insurance and provide certificates that meet LSLBC requirements.
