Why do floor installation contractors need insurance?

Working with tools in other people's homes and offices means high liability. Business insurance helps pay legal costs if a client trips on loose linoleum, or sues over damage in their home. It also covers stolen equipment, accidents in your company truck, and employee injuries.
