Protect Your Business: What Could Go Wrong on an Excavation Site?
Picture this: The contractor is using heavy equipment while digging a trench for a new sewer line when suddenly, the excavator hits an unmarked gas line.
The resulting pollution causes an explosion, thus damaging nearby buildings and injuring several workers.
Without proper insurance coverage to protect your excavation business, your excavation business could be on the hook for millions of dollars in damages and medical bills.
Insurance can help provide protection for your business needs before they occur.
That’s just one example of the many risks excavation contractors face on a daily basis. Here are a few more:
- Damaging underground utilities like water mains, fiber optic cables, and electrical lines
- Causing property damage to neighboring buildings or structures
- Injuring workers or bystanders on the job site
- Experiencing equipment theft, vandalism, or breakdowns
The costs associated with these risks can be staggering.
According to the Common Ground Alliance, the average cost of a damage claim for hitting an underground utility is $30,000.
If a worker is injured on the job, you could be facing medical bills, lost wages, and even legal fees.
That’s where The Allen Thomas Group comes in. We offer a range of insurance coverage options designed specifically for excavation contractors in Kentucky to protect your business, including:
General Liability Insurance | Third-party bodily injury and property damage claims |
Workers’ Compensation | Medical expenses and lost wages for work-related injuries |
Equipment Coverage | Theft, damage, and breakdowns of your excavation equipment |
Commercial Auto | Accidents involving your company vehicles |

Tailored Coverage for Your Unique Needs
At The Allen Thomas Group, we know that every excavation business is different, and you may need more tailored insurance in Kentucky, than general liability insurance.

- The size of your excavation business and number of employees
- The types of projects you typically work on
- The value of your equipment and vehicles
- Your safety record and claims history
Armed with this information, we work with our network of top-rated insurance carriers to find the best coverage options at competitive prices.
