No matter how good the personal service you provide—organizing dinner parties or all the closets in a home, transporting clients' children to soccer games or walking their dogs—sometimes things just don't go right on a job. Maybe a dog slips her collar, runs into the street and is injured by a passing car, or the shelf you've put into a client's butler's pantry breaks, destroying several place settings of expensive china. Personal services liability insurance helps in such instances, providing money to pay for the dog's veterinary bills or to replace the priceless antique china.

Whether you need personal services liability insurance or some other type of personal service contractors insurance, the best way to save money is to shop around and compare policy coverages and costs.

The Scoop on Personal Services Liability Insurance
When you set up your business you probably weren't thinking about all the things that could go wrong on a job. But it's a fact of business life today that people are ready to claim damages and sue over even trivial problems. You don't want to risk you business and your livelihood by neglecting to obtain personal service contractors insurance.

Personal services liability insurance, for example, protects you when someone accuses you of harming them by doing something or failing to do something. Personal services liability insurance would pay medical bills if a client was injured when tripping over a shopping bag you left out in his home after running errands. (This insurance would also kick in to pay for the attorneys' fees and eventual settlement if the client decided to sue you for damages.)

Other personal service contractor insurance coverages that you need include business property insurance, commercial vehicle coverage, workers compensation and possibly umbrella coverage—to provide protection over and above your normal policy limits—as well.

There are a few ways to save money on your personal service contractors insurance. You can increase your policy deductibles by $500 or even $1,000; that usually provides a substantial premium savings. You can ask an experienced business insurance agent for suggestions on how to reduce your risks and make your business more attractive to insurers (and cheaper to insure). You can also ask about any discounts available if you carry your personal insurance with the same company that you use for your personal service contractors insurance.
