General Liability
Bought by 95% of business owners like you
General liability insurance covers a wide range of appliance technician accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by project owners and individual clients. General liability includes contractors’ E&O, or professional liability coverage, which can help cover costs in a business disagreement.
general liability can help you pay for:
Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Contractors’ E&O
Bought by 80% of business owners like you
Errors and omissions insurance (also known as professional liability) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of creating a leak in a dishwasher hose, it could help cover related expenses to defend yourself or redo the job.

Professional negligence (actual or alleged)

Commercial Auto

Damage to someone’s property
While installing a new refrigerator, you crack a few tiles on the client’s kitchen floor. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.Accidents that hurt someone
A client trips over your tool box and hurts their ankle. Your general liability coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.Professional mistakes
A dryer vent is incorrectly attached after a repair, which causes moisture damage in a client’s home. E&O insurance helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.Workplace injuries
You injure your back while moving a heavy appliance and need time off to heal. Workers’ compensation insurance can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles
You leave a dent on a nearby vehicle when parking your work truck in a tight space. Commercial auto insurance will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.Theft or damage to your tools
Your storage shed floods, damaging many of your tools. You can choose to add tools and equipment insurance to your general liability coverage to help pay for replacement costs.Damage to your own property
