Fiber Construction insurance in Texas
Directional boring and aerial fiber work in Texas create exposures ranging from underground utility strikes to bucket truck incidents. Workers compensation is not mandatory. However, virtually all MSAs and turf vendor contracts require it regardless of state law. Nonsubscribers lose common-law defenses. Coverage programs must address both the aerial and subsurface risk profiles.
