Many contractors in the Oil & Gas industry do not fully understand the risks and liabilities that can stem from damages to employees, third parties, or property and what insurance coverages would be adequate to protect them.
But what happens when you think you’ve covered all your bases, only to find out that your insurance coverage is far from adequate?
This is the story of David, an Oil & Gas contractor, whose world was turned upside down when he faced a crisis caused by a seemingly minor oversight—a lesson that ultimately led him to discover the invaluable expertise of Pasadena Insurance Agency.
How David’s Insurance Plan Fell Short of Protecting his Business
David, an independent contractor in the oil and gas industry, had secured a major project with a prominent company. His agent sold him General Liability insurance that required all subcontractors to carry similar coverage. Unfortunately, David didn’t know he needed to confirm each subcontractor carried the same limits of liability as he did. Therefore, he confidently felt everything was in order, began the project and completed it on time. The client was happy, and David was onto his next project.
However, disaster struck shortly after.
A faulty wiring job done by a subcontractor led to a fire, causing substantial damage to the oil company’s facility. The project was already completed. When David went on to file a claim, he learned that the subcontractor who did the wiring work, did not have Completed Operations coverage, leaving David liable for the repairs and restoration without any insurance to pay.
With the costs mounting and the reputation of his business on the line, David realized that his current insurance plan fell far short of protecting his business from the risks.
David needed help and fast.
He turned to Pasadena Insurance Agency, a firm known for its deep understanding of the Oil & Gas industry and superior customer service.

One of the most valuable pieces of advice Pasadena Insurance provided was the need to verify all subcontractors’ insurance policies were following the required liability limits.
