Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation, which is part of your roofing insurance, is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee’s right to sue his or her employer. This assures you that your roofer can gradually be brought back to work and your operations can be normalized.

Affordable Roofing Insurance provides general liability coverage. General liability coverage is critical to your risk management strategy because of the comprehensive protection that it offers to your business.

Bodily Injury
Physical harm to a person at your place of business, or an injury caused by your employee at a client’s site.
Completed Operations/Products Liability
Losses after your business has completed work for a customer (such as repairing appliances or installing wiring), or from distributing products
Personal Injury
Damage to the reputation or rights of a person or business due to slander, libel, copyright infringement, invasion or privacy, false arrest, wrongful eviction, etc.
Advertising Injury
Losses caused by your advertising (spoken or written); for example, an ad that trashes a competitor.
Medical Payments
Pays the medical expenses of a person injured on your premises (a customer, client, visitor, or even a trespasser) up to a stated amount, regardless of fault — as a goodwill gesture to prevent lawsuits.
Independent Contractors Liability
Damage from the acts of an independent contractor hired by your business.
Damages Covered Your General Liability Insurance Policy will pay three types of damages:
Compensatory Damages

General Damages
For intangible losses (“pain and suffering.” “mental anguish,” etc.)
Punitive Damages
Penalties against your business for committing a wrongful act
