Below are four general principals to follow when your bsiness enters into a project or contract with another business.

  • Never assume the other business has liability coverage and obtain a certificate of insurance to verify their insurance coverage.
  • As a part of a written contract, demand a copy of the additional insured endorsement and review it with your insurance professional and legal representative.
  • Understand what your additional insured coverage status covers and look at your liability policy. There may be gaps in coverage that can be easily fixed (before the relationship starts).
  • Read the contract requirements and write the contract requirements carefully to make sure your business is not jeopardizing its own coverage in agreeing to add additional insureds and know what you are extending when you agree to add additional insured.
