How Does Liability Insurance Work?

No solar energy contractor wants to pay for insurance that they believe does not work. Fortunately, this is not the case for general liability insurance for solar energy contractors. This policy is specifically designed to kick in when a third-party files a claim or lawsuit against the contractor. It not only covers medical costs related to third-party injuries, but also covers litigation and court costs. When you really consider how much solar energy insurance really covers, it is questionable why any contractor would want to accept the risks and not get covered.

What good are Canadian insurance brokerages if they are not willing to work with their customers? Well, they would actually be rendered useless, especially when it comes to the solar energy industry. Contractors working in this industry face unlimited risks on a daily basis. Not only are they a risk, but also their employees and subcontractors are as well.

Any solar energy contractors is aware of the fact that an accident can occur at the drop of a hat. These accidents could be related to a fall or malfunctioning equipment. Whatever the case may be, they could result in third-party property damage or bodily injury. While most property damage claims can be cleared up quickly, this is not always the case with bodily injury claims.

In fact, a third-party could sustain an injury that will leave this disabled for the rest of their life. And, these claims often end up in court with the third-party fighting for monetary compensation. While some contractors will manage to cover these expenses, others will end up filing bankruptcy and closing their doors permanently, both of which could have been prevented with solar energy company liability insurance.
