3 quick steps — a specialist will follow up with your options
Secure & confidential. Your info is never sold to third parties.
A licensed broker specializing in fiber and telecom contractors will review your submission and reach out with your options as quickly as possible.
From trench work on public roads to inside-plant cable pulls — we cover the full spectrum of fiber optic contractor insurance needs including general liability, workers comp for fiber optic installers, commercial auto, and inland marine coverage.
Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage during installation, splicing, or network work. Essential if you're digging, trenching, or working on client premises.
Protects your crew working in trenches, on poles, in conduit, and in equipment rooms. Required in most states and critical given the physical risks in fiber work.
Covers your work trucks, vans, bucket trucks, and cable-pulling rigs whether hauling equipment to a jobsite or driving across a city to your next install.
Extra liability coverage on top of your GL and auto policies. Telecom and fiber contractors increasingly need $2M–$5M umbrella limits to satisfy ISP and municipality contracts.
Protects your expensive tools and equipment — OTDR testers, fusion splicers, cable reels, conduit pullers, and more — whether on-site, in transit, or in storage.
License bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds required by municipalities, utilities, and telecom carriers to award you public ROW and telecom infrastructure projects.

The wrong broker doesn't just cost you money — it costs you jobs.
They don't know construction, don't understand your trade, and miss coverage gaps that matter on a fiber job.
Prime contractors have specific AI endorsement and exclusion requirements. A broker who doesn't know the space won't get them right.
When you need a certificate or have a coverage question, you can't afford to wait days for a callback.
You can't get paid or start work without a COI in hand. Slow issuance kills your cash flow and risks losing the job entirely.
The wrong policy means claims get denied when it matters most. If your broker didn't know your business, you may not be covered the way you think.
Constant turnover means re-explaining your business every renewal and falling through the cracks at the worst possible time.
When independent agencies sell to nationals, service suffers immediately and your account becomes a number in a queue.

We needed a $3M umbrella to qualify for a municipal FTTH project. They got it done fast and the pricing was better than anything we'd found on our own.
Everything you need to know about getting the right insurance for your fiber optic or network contracting business.
Yes. General liability insurance for fiber optic contractors is typically required by ISPs, municipalities, and prime contractors before you can begin work. It covers third-party bodily injury and property damage that occurs during installation, splicing, or network work — including damage to underground utilities, client property, or injuries to members of the public on or near your jobsite.
The cost of fiber optic contractor insurance varies based on your revenue, number of employees, trade type, and coverage limits. General liability for a small fiber installer typically starts around $1,000–$2,500/year. Adding workers' comp, commercial auto, and an umbrella will increase the total. The best way to get accurate pricing is to submit a quote request — we shop multiple A-rated carriers to find you the most competitive rate.
Low voltage contractors typically need general liability insurance, workers' compensation (if you have employees), commercial auto for work vehicles, and inland marine to cover tools and equipment. If you're working under contract with a commercial GC, school district, or municipality, you may also need an umbrella policy with $2M–$5M in limits and a contractor bond. We specialize in low voltage contractor insurance and can match you with the right coverage for your specific jobs.
Yes, in most states workers' compensation is legally required if you have one or more employees. Workers' comp for fiber optic installers covers medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs when a crew member is injured on the job — whether working in a trench, on a pole, or in an equipment room. Even in states where it's not legally required, most ISP and telecom prime contractors will require proof of workers' comp before putting you on a job.
Inland marine insurance for fiber contractors covers your tools and equipment — OTDR testers, fusion splicers, cable reels, conduit pullers, and other specialized gear — while in transit, on a jobsite, or in storage. Standard general liability policies do not cover your own equipment. If a fusion splicer worth $15,000 is stolen from your van or damaged on a jobsite, inland marine insurance pays to repair or replace it.
Yes. ISP subcontractor insurance is one of our specialties. Whether you're working under AT&T, Comcast, Lumen, Frontier, or a regional ISP, your prime contractor will require you to carry your own general liability, workers' comp, and often a commercial umbrella policy. We understand the insurance requirements of major telecom carriers and can get you a certificate of insurance (COI) that meets their specific requirements quickly.
