Why Contractors Choose Us for Excavation Contractor Insurance
Excavation sits at the center of a lot of the claims that make GL underwriters nervous — underground utility strikes, trench collapse, and damage to adjacent structures or property lines. California excavation contractors working near public infrastructure also deal with Cal/OSHA trenching and shoring requirements that intersect directly with how a claim gets evaluated after an incident. We place excavation programs with carriers that price underground utility damage and trench-related exposure explicitly, and make sure workers' comp classification reflects the actual work — heavy excavation crews have a different loss profile than light grading.
