1.Introduction
Contractors' All Risk Insurance is specifically designed to cover the Insured against loss or damage in respect of contract works, construction plant and equipment and/or construction machinery as well as against third party claims in respect of property damage or bodily injury arising in connection with the execution of a building project
2. Company Philosophy
Contractors' All Risks Insurance has historically produced unfavorable results due to adverse claims experience. The risk exposure under this class of business is very high and insurers are often exposed to material damage claims resulting from flood, landslide, windstorm, collapse, fire and theft. In addition, insurers are also exposed to third party liability claims arising from damage to underground cables and pipes as well as surrounding properties.
