Contract Insurance Limit Requirement Review
Contract insurance limit requirement review is the step of checking whether a bid package, owner, general contractor, developer, or commercial client requires liability limits higher than the electrical contractor's current policies. The contractor should send the requirement to a licensed insurance professional before assuming the business can meet the limit through existing policies or umbrella coverage.
