Utility Contractor Insurance

Utility contractors install and repair the underground and overhead infrastructure that entire communities depend on. The work spans public right-of-ways, energized lines, and pressurized pipes, where a single failure can disrupt service for thousands and trigger high-dollar claims.

Risks We Help Manage

Exposures that demand a strategy

Before recommending coverage, we map the specific exposures that threaten your operation. For utility contractor insurance, those typically include:

Service outages affecting large populations
Electrocution, trench, and confined-space injuries
Damage to existing buried and overhead infrastructure
High contractual limits from municipal and utility clients
Heavy-equipment and specialized-tool exposure
Coverages to Consider

A program built around your operation

With access to more than 100 highly rated carriers and specialty programs, we assemble the right combination of coverages rather than a one-size-fits-all policy.

Commercial General Liability

Protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your premises and operations, including legal defense costs.

Underground / Utility Liability

Covers damage to existing utilities and infrastructure during the work.

Contractors' Equipment

Protects trenchers, borers, bucket trucks, and other specialized machinery.

Workers' Compensation

Pays medical bills and lost wages for employees injured on the job and shields you from related employee lawsuits.

Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability

Adds an extra layer of liability limits above your underlying policies to protect against catastrophic claims and large lawsuits.

Who this is for

Contractors installing and maintaining water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecom infrastructure.
