Understanding Your Contractors Insurance Needs

Your contractors insurance specialist will consult with you in person, or over the phone. We have licensed specialists experienced with every type of contracting business — whether residential, commercial, or industrial. Rates are not set by the state, so premiums vary from carrier to carrier. Your specialist will explain everything clearly so you understand the recommendations.

Coverage and Claims Review

If you already have contractor’s insurance, we can review your current coverage plus any claims you had to evaluate why the claim occurred. Then we can recommend changes to operations or changes in coverage to reduce future risks.

High-Value Contractors Insurance Coverage. Lower Prices.

When it comes to contractors insurance, personal relationships with underwriting insurance carriers are critical. We have carefully nurtured those relationships since 1988. That’s why we are able to find first-rate insurance at the lowest prices for our contractor clients.

Workers’ Compensation Risk Management

Your contractors insurance specialist will work with you to ensure you have all the training and documentation you need to best manage your employees’ risk of injury or illness. Remember, your premiums will be lower if you have fewer claims.

Claims Assistance

Inevitably, an employee will become injured or sick and you will need to provide him or her with a claim form. This must be given to your employee within one working day of notification of the disability! It doesn’t matter how busy you are; you must, by law, immediately provide the claim form. Your contractors insurance welcome packet will provide claim forms. In addition, our carriers have 24/7 claims assistance. Plus Carl Nelson Insurance has a dedicated in-house claims department to answer your questions and to help you resolve any issues with the least amount of worry. It also saves you and your staff precious time!

Personal Assistance When You Need It

If you have any questions, your contractors insurance specialist will know you and be responsive to you personally. The rest of the CNI staff will back up your specialist, always ready to serve you when you need it.
