Statewide Virtual Meeting Mon May 24: Proof of Insurance when Hiring Contractors, Managing Liability

This presentation will cover the insurance aspects of hiring contractors. Whether you are carrying out a large renovation or just planning to hire a landscaper, you need coverage either directly or through your contractor. We will cover the ins and outs of contract work, including:

• When and how to request proof of insurance
• What to do if a contractor doesn't want to provide proof of insurance
• Listing yourself as a named insured
• Notifying your casualty loss insurer if the building will be substantially vacant for a time
• "If any" exposures on your workers comp policy
• Whether you or other non-contractors ought to be touring the construction site
• and more!

Attendees will leave knowing how to manage construction and contractor liability.
