Oregon Contractors Insurance

Oregon is a diverse state where you will find thriving cities, open farmland and expansive wilderness – a beautiful landscape where all kinds of natural forces are at play. At the same time, Oregon is also a progressive leader in new home building and is often mentioned in the context of cost effective, renewable and ecologically sound architectural designs and construction. If you are a contractor in this market, chances are that every day is an exciting adventure. But no matter how savvy a contractor you are, there are events in both life and business that you cannot predict nor prevent. These events can cause damage to your work site or your workers, and while you cannot stop them from happening you can make sure you are prepared. By purchasing Oregon contractors insurance - and preparing a business recovery plan - you can be ready if something strikes.

Oregon contractors insurance is something that every construction contractor should have. In fact, Oregon law demands that all contractors carry liability insurance before they are licensed. All coverage must also be current in order to maintain a license. Liability insurance protects any third party injured or seeing damage as a result of a contractor’s activity or at a contractor’s work site.

At the same time as you search for your next Oregon contractors insurance policies, work on your business recovery plan. While working through the necessary steps to ensure that your business survives a potential accident, natural disaster or other event, you are also likely to learn more about your operations – things that will help you assess what insurance coverage you truly need. If you are about to renew or cancel your current insurance, this time is as good as any.

How to Create A Business Recovery Plan

A great place to start is by writing down all the crucial elements your business cannot survive without. Aside from your human capital, which of course is your key asset, you need to maintain adequate records of all your affiliates, clients and other contacts. Your contracts, worker documentation, licenses and your business plans and financial records are crucial. Getting a firmer grasp of how your company works will also help you understand better what kind of coverage you need for your Oregon contractors insurance. The next time you change provider, this information will prove invaluable.

Make copies of all the records that are important to your daily and long-term operations. Chances are it has taken you years to gather all the documentation you do have, so make sure you always have copies in a safe and accessible place. Whether you have your records in digital format or on paper, duplicate them and make sure to note when you are doing your next backup. Naturally, make copies of your current Oregon contractors insurance paperwork, as well as all other contracts and contacts. Everything from email addresses to physical addresses of your employees, your business partners, bank contacts and government sources should also be stored safely and while still remaining accessible.

As part of your business recovery plan, choose to work with an Oregon contractors’ insurance provider that is licensed in the state of Oregon. Working with a company that knows all the local red tape can save you endless time and effort if you should need to make a claim or go through a settlement situation.
