Liability insurance will be first priority to a contracting business that involves doing work on the property of an individual. This type of insurance covers accidents involving someone or something not associated with a business. These coverages are quite expensive because lawsuits are so costly. Your contracting business needs this coverage.

If you own a roof contracting business, and an employee drops a hammer from the roof, hitting a person not affiliated with your business which requires medical attention. This is a situation that will have to be filed under the liability section of your business insurance coverage.

The only way a landscaping business should consider adding product liability, is in the case that a landscaping business plants seeds or trees. Product liability will cover the costs of replacement if the seeds do not grow or die prematurely.

The next type of business insurance available is property liability. This insurance for a roof contracting business will cover all losses of materials that are held in a building.

Product liability insurance is not needed for a transportation company. You have no products to insure. Getting this type of insurance would be a waste of money for a public transportation company.
