General Liability Certificates of Insurance on Long Island
Most Long Island businesses are required to provide permit-ready Certificates of Insurance (COIs) before work can begin. Towns, villages, commercial landlords, property managers, and general contractors routinely require additional insured status, primary and non-contributory wording, and a waiver of subrogation to be shown on your General Liability policy.
These endorsements confirm that your coverage responds first, protects upstream parties, and meets contractual requirements. .
