I've been with Paul T Murphy since 2005. My home, car and business liability insurance has gone through this agency. I've had a series of unfortunate matters over the past 2 years and they've helped me every step of the way. Stephanie is my usual point of contact. She is encouraging, caring and extremely informative. She always gets me the answers I need. Whatever help I need, she is always willing to provide support and instruction. Most importantly, she cares. She often just asks how things are going and provides warm customer service.

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!

What Coverages Do Welding Contractor Policies Offer?

Most welding contractor policies are written as package policies, which means they contain multiple coverages within them. This can allow policies to cover against multiple and very different risks. The specific coverages found within welding policies generally break down into property coverages and liability coverages.

Property coverages normally protect the things that a business owns. Some property coverages that welders commonly need are:

Business Personal Property Coverage, which may cover equipment, tools and supplies when they’re at a business’s facility
Inland Marine Coverage, which may cover equipment and tools when they’re transported to and from work sites
Builders Risk Coverage, which may cover equipment and tools while they’re at work sites
Equipment Breakdown Coverage, which may cover essential equipment in the event of a malfunction
Employee Dishonesty Coverage, which may cover employee theft

Liability coverages normally protect against incidents that a business could be held financially responsible for. Some liability coverages that welders commonly need are:

General Liability Coverage, which may cover common accidents and basic defamation lawsuits
Auto Liability Coverage, which may cover accidents employees are in while they’re driving for work
Completed Operations Liability Coverage, which may cover malfunctions in work that’s been completed
Umbrella Liability Coverage, which may provide a supplemental layer of liability protection

Auto liability coverage can frequently be expanded into a commercial auto coverage that also protects business-owned vans and trucks against damage.

Do Welders Who Work as Subcontractors Need Their Own Insurance?

Welders who perform work as subcontractors may receive some insurance coverage from their hiring contractor. Not all hiring contractors extend coverage, though, and those that do might not offer all of the protections that welders need. After all, welders have some unique risk considerations that many general contractors don’t have.

Because suitable coverage isn’t always provided by a hiring contractor, subcontracting welders are often wise to procure their own insurance. An insurance agent who specializes in welder policies can help welding contractors review their particular situation, and obtain any coverage that they might want or need.
