Tools & Equipment Coverage

Solutions to Protect Against a Catastrophic Claim Albany New York Contractor General Liability Insurance policies generally include some coverage for hand tools and that limit can normally be increased for a nominal fee. If you choose to cover $5000 worth of your hand tools but do not want to specifically describe them you can do this on your contractor's general liability policy. Typically there is a maximum per tool under this coverage. Since you have not specifically described the equipment, this is called unscheduled inland marine property insurance. If you have more specific equipment with a greater value, you must specifically describe it: 2006 Kubota Skid Steer Serial #KB126456 - purchased used $19,000 value. Because you and the insurance company have now specifically described the property to be insured, this is called scheduled inland marine property coverage.
