Cable Installer Coverage

Insurance Coverage Cable Installers Need

Georgia licenses low-voltage work through the LV-T classification and requires comp at three employees, and ISPs add their own requirements. Here’s the coverage Georgia crews carry.

General Liability

The foundation of any cable installer's insurance program. GL covers property damage you cause at a customer's home or business, bodily injury on the job, and completed operations claims after the work is done. Most ISP and cable company agreements require $1M/$2M GL with AI endorsement.

Required by ISPs$1M/$2MProperty Damage

Workers' Compensation

Required in Georgia once you regularly employ three or more people, counting part-time workers. Below that threshold, primes still usually ask for coverage or proof of an exemption.

State RequiredAll EmployeesMedical & Wage

Commercial Auto

Commercial auto in metro Atlanta costs more than in the rest of the state, and personal policies don’t cover work vehicles. Commercial Auto covers your vans and trucks, hired and non-owned vehicles, and the $1M limit most ISPs require.

$1M CSLWork VehiclesISP AI Option

Umbrella / Excess

Umbrella coverage adds an extra layer of protection above your GL and Auto limits. For cable installers working on larger commercial contracts, multi-dwelling units, or ISP builds, an Umbrella of $1M–$2M is often required and always smart to have.

$1M–$2MAbove GL & AutoLarger Jobs

Inland Marine / Tools

Protects cable tools, test equipment, wire reels, and gear in your van or at job sites. Standard GL doesn't cover your own tools — Inland Marine fills that gap so a stolen van or damaged equipment doesn't put you out of work.

Tools & EquipmentIn TransitOn-Site

Additional Insured COIs

Working for AT&T, Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, or another ISP? They'll require a COI naming them as Additional Insured before your first day on the job. We issue AI COIs promptly — with the correct entity name and endorsement language your subcontract requires.
