Excavation Contractor Insurance

Excavation crews dig where buried gas, water, electric, and fiber lines run, and a single utility strike can cause explosions, outages, and six-figure damages. The heavy equipment and underground exposures make this one of the higher-hazard trades to insure.

Risks We Help Manage

Exposures that demand a strategy

Before recommending coverage, we map the specific exposures that threaten your operation. For excavation contractor insurance, those typically include:

Underground utility strikes causing outages and explosions
Cave-ins and trench-collapse injuries
Damage to adjacent foundations and structures
Heavy-equipment rollovers and theft
Environmental and soil-contamination exposure
Coverages to Consider

A program built around your operation

With access to more than 100 highly rated carriers and specialty programs, we assemble the right combination of coverages rather than a one-size-fits-all policy.

Commercial General Liability

Protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your premises and operations, including legal defense costs.

Underground / Utility Liability

Addresses damage to buried utilities, a common exclusion that excavators specifically need covered.

Contractors' Equipment

Covers excavators, dozers, loaders, and other heavy machinery.

Workers' Compensation

Pays medical bills and lost wages for employees injured on the job and shields you from related employee lawsuits.

Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability

Adds an extra layer of liability limits above your underlying policies to protect against catastrophic claims and large lawsuits.

Who this is for

Excavation, grading, site-prep, and earthmoving contractors.
