Job-site damage
Raised beds hitting power lines, tipping on soft ground, and damage at the site often fall under general liability.
Debris from loads
Rocks and gravel that come off a load crack windshields behind you and lead to liability claims.
Seasonal and contract work
Contractors ask for specific limits and additional insured wording on your certificate.

Common questions
Do dump trucks need cargo insurance?
Often not for sand, gravel, or dirt, since the load value is low. Some contracts still ask for it, so check yours.
Why do contractors ask for additional insured status?
It extends your liability coverage to them for your work. Email certs@tridentinsurancecorp.com with the exact wording they need.
