  • I have been with Paul T. Murphy insurance for years. I have recommended several friends and family members who are very happy with this company. We have our home ins., Liability ins., commercial vehicle coverage and also our personal auto coverage. Just recently my husband was involved in an accident and I was getting no where with the insurance carrier so I called Greg. He did everything he could for us. In the end it worked out due to him and all his hard work. I have also worked with Brian and Du on numerous occasions. They have always worked so hard at getting us the best insurance coverage for a best rate. The customer service there is a 5 star!

Do Plumbers Policies Come with Workers Compensation?

Most plumbing businesses that have paid employees are required by state law to carry workers compensation for their employees, and even some plumbers who are self-employed might want this coverage.
