			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the course of doing business, contractors such as plumbers and roofers take on several risks of a financial nature as well as being subject to personal injury lawsuits. To lessen this risk, independent contractors may opt to purchase a policy that will cover their costs in the event of being sued for property damage or bodily injury.</p>
<p>Independent contractors provide their services in many of the construction trades, from electrical repair to road construction. Business owners, who already have enough to worry about just keeping the business operating, are going to be far more likely to hire an independent contractor who has a contractor&#8217;s insurance policy. To contract for the federal government and some state and local governments, <a title="Contractor Insurance |  Maryland | Workmans Compensaion | Business Insurance | Howard County | Insurance " href=" http://www.rhhinsurance.com/" target="_blank">contractor insurance</a> is mandatory.</p>
<p>Contractor insurance policies are generally issued to cover the contractor, the person or company they are providing services to and any person, such as a homeowner, who is directly impacted by the work of a contractor. The policy will cover accidental property or equipment damage as well as protection from medical and legal costs brought on by a third party.</p>
<p>There are two areas that contractor insurance will not provide coverage for. The first is deliberate acts of negligence and the second is acts that occur due to a continued pattern of poor workmanship. However, the insurer would need to prove that such a pattern existed before denying a claim.</p>
<p>The average claim against a contractor often is not made until many years after the event, as faulty construction is often not evident until the finished product has been in use for some time. That is why it is important to understand how long the contractor&#8217;s insurance policy will be in place. A <a title=" Contractor Insurance | Maryland | Workmans Compensaion | Business Insurance | Howard County | Insurance " href=" http://www.rhhinsurance.com/" target="_blank">contractor&#8217;s insurance policy</a> can even provide protection after the contractor has retired.</p>
<p>By purchasing a contractor&#8217;s insurance policy, contractors are relieved of the stress and anxiety over accidental damage to property or personal injury to others and can just concentrate on providing the best contracting services possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Misclassifying employees as independent contractors to cut costs, including on WC insurance, is prohibited with the passage of SB 909 of 2009, also known as the <a title="Maryland Workplace Fraud Act of 2009 | Contractor Insurance | Maryland  " href=" http://www.rhhinsurance.com/" target="_blank">Maryland Workplace Fraud Act of 2009</a>. Passed by the state legislature in April of 2009 and signed by Gov. O&#8217;Malley that May, the Act stipulates that for the purposes of enforcement, a presumption that work performed by an individual paid by an employer creates an employer-employee relationship.</p>
<p>The language establishes investigation procedures for the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, as well as provides for civil penalties in the event of both an intentional (&#8220;knowingly misclassify&#8221;) and unintentional (&#8220;improperly misclassify&#8221;) infraction. The law took effect on Oct. 1, 2009 and is specific to the construction and landscaping industries.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many different forms of <a title="Insurance | Howard County" href=" http://www.rhhinsurance.com/" target="_blank">personal insurance</a>. The reason for the wide variety of offerings is that each type of personal insurance insures a different thing. Homeowners insurance insures a persons home and valuable possessions that are kept within that home. Life insurance covers the person for the possibility of his death. Health insurance insures that if the person happens to get into an accident or develop an illness, he will be able to afford the treatment that is necessary to treat the condition. Auto insurance insures that the person will be able to pay for any damages he may cause in the event of an automobile. These are the most common types of personal insurance. The reason that these personal insurance policies exist is that the expenses that can arise from these various situations can be unexpected and incredibly expensive.</p>
<p><strong>Homeowners Insurance</strong></p>
<p>Homeowners insurance is a personal <a title="Insurance | Howard County" href=" http://www.rhhinsurance.com/" target="_blank">insurance policy</a> that covers the expense to repair or replace a home and the property that is kept inside. These policies protect the holders from damage that may be caused by vandalism, natural disasters, and the like. One thing that people should keep in mind when they are considering purchasing homeowners insurance is that many of these homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage that is caused by flooding. People who live in areas that are prone to flooding will usually have to purchase an additional policy to cover themselves for those possibilities. One interesting thing that is covered by most homeowners insurance policies is liability. This means that if a guest is injured while inside of one&#8217;s home due to negligence or something that can be blamed on the house, such as slipping on a wet floor, that person has the legal right to sue the owner of the house for the damages that occurred to his person. However, these damages that would be awarded to the injured guest would be covered by the homeowner&#8217;s homeowners insurance policy. This can save a great deal of stress and hardship and is very valuable for people who entertain company often.</p>
<p><strong>Auto Insurance</strong></p>
<p>Auto insurance protects a person in the evident that he has an accident i his car. these accidents can cause a great deal of harm. That is why it is so important to have automobile insurance.</p>
<p><strong>Life Insurance</strong></p>
<p>Life insurance covers a person in the event that he dies. These policies pay out money to people who were dependent on the person. When the provider for a family dies, it can be a huge blow to a family. Life insurance softens this blow.</p>
<p><strong>Health Insurance</strong></p>
<p>Health insurance pays for medical bills that a person incurs. Medical bills can be very expensive. Health insurance makes these costs manageable.<br />
 <br />
By purchasing the right personal insurance policies, a person can greatly reduce the impact that disasters will have on his life.</p>
