General Liability Insurance for Electricians

Minnesota electricians need general liability insurance as part of the licensing requirements in Minnesota, and it is the core insurance policy for most electrical contractor businesses in Minnesota.

General liability covers bodily injury and property damage; it is an important policy for your business. Often companies will include a property damage deductible ($1,000, $2,500, etc.). Consider this deductible when determining the proper electrical contractors’ insurance for your electrical contracting business.

Common limits of liability coverage are $1,000,000/$2,000,000. The $1,000,000 represents the per occurrence limit or claim. The $2,000,000 represents the aggregate limits or maximum per policy term limit for all claims presented.
