  • When I called the staff at Paul T. Murphy Insurance, they explained how auto reform would allow me to increase coverage and save money at the same time. I moved my home and umbrella insurance to my current auto carrier and saved over $350. In July 2008 when my auto insurance renews with Safety Insurance, I will save another $300 just for having my auto and home insurance with the same company. The staff at Paul T Murphy Insurance Agency really understands the new Massachusetts reform and how to pass savings and additional coverage to their clients.

  • After many years of doing business with the Paul T. Murphy Insurance Agency, I am thrilled to learn of this relationship with Northrup to service the Lynnfield area. I have trusted both my personal and business policies with Paul and have never received less than the best of service. I like the face that they service as professionals but treat you like a friend. Recently during a complicated Workers Comp claim, Paul showed up to walk me through what I thought would be a mess of paperwork and confusion – the personalized service I receive spoke volumes. I have never gotten service like that from anyone else. I also like the fact that they are always ready to save me money without ever compromising my coverage.

  • One of the best business and personal decisions I ever made was to collaborate with Paul Murphy Insurance Company for our families insurance needs. Starting with our business policies, then eventually all of our personal policies, we have slowly transitioned all to be managed by PMI. Many companies loosely tout that they treat you as one of the family; PMI proves it in their actions. We are glad we are part of their family.

What Coverages Does Excavation Insurance Provide?

As mentioned, excavation policies normally come with multiple coverages. Some of the more common liability coverages that these policies might have include:

In addition to these, excavation companies often also need property coverages such as:

  • Commercial Property Coverage, which may protect company buildings and equipment
  • Inland Marine Coverage, which may protect company equipment as it’s transported to and from worksites
  • Builders Risk Coverage, which may protect equipment as it’s kept at worksites
  • Equipment Breakdown Coverage, which may protect essential equipment against unexpected breakdown

In many cases, there are still other coverages that an excavation business can benefit from. An insurance agent who specializes in these types of policies can help excavators select the coverages that are right for their business.

Do Excavation Insurance Include Workers Compensation Insurance?

Most excavators have employees and are required by state law to carry workers compensation insurance as a result. Whether workers compensation is included in an excavation policy or is purchased separately as a stand-alone policy varies from policy to policy. In either case, however, an agent who’s familiar with excavation policies can likely also help with securing any necessary workers compensation coverage.

What is a Waiver of Subrogation?

Sometimes contractors who hire excavation businesses ask the business to add a waiver of subrogation to the excavator’s insurance policy. This waiver provides the hiring contractor with a measure of protection. Should a hiring contractor require this, an insurance agent can usually help add such a waiver onto an existing excavation insurance policy.
