Handyman Insurance, What is an Additional Insured
An additional insured is a person, company or entity protected by an insurance policy in addition to the insured. A person or organization not automatically included as an insured under an insurance policy, but for whom insured status is arranged, usually by endorsement.
A named insured’s impetus for providing additional insured status to others may be a desire to protect the other party because of a close relationship with that party or to comply with a contractual agreement requiring the named insured to do so
