Do contractors need commercial umbrella insurance?

A $1M general liability policy sounds like a lot until a serious job site injury generates a $2.5M claim. Without umbrella, you’re personally responsible for $1.5M. With a $2M umbrella, you’re fully covered.

Umbrella is especially important if you: work on commercial projects where contracts require it, drive vehicles for work, employ workers with significant injury exposure, or take on large projects where a single bad outcome could be financially catastrophic.

At $500–$1,500/year for $1M in coverage, commercial umbrella is one of the best insurance values available to contractors. The premium is small; the protection is enormous.
