Our Employment Practices Liability Insurance Services

Comprehensive EPLI coverage options designed to protect electrical contractors from workforce-related legal claims and exposures.

Wrongful Termination Coverage

Protects your electrical contracting business against claims alleging unlawful or unjustified dismissal of field workers, apprentices, or office staff, covering legal defense costs and settlements.

Discrimination & Harassment Defense

Covers claims of workplace discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability, as well as sexual harassment allegations arising from job sites or company premises.

Wage & Hour Dispute Protection

Addresses claims related to unpaid overtime, misclassified employees, or improper pay practices—common risks in electrical contracting where crews often work irregular hours.

Third-Party EPLI Coverage

Extends protection beyond employees to include claims brought by clients, subcontractors, or vendors who allege discriminatory or harassing conduct by your workforce.

Retaliation Claim Coverage

Covers allegations that employees were penalized or terminated for reporting safety violations, whistleblowing, or exercising legally protected workplace rights.

Risk Management Services

Soma's Risk Management Team analyzes your electrical contracting workforce exposures and structures the right EPLI program to reduce claims risk and secure coverage at the right price.

Contractor-Specific Protection

EPLI Coverage Built for Electrical Contracting Businesses

Electrical contractors operate with diverse, mobile workforces—journeymen, apprentices, subcontractors, and office personnel—each representing distinct employment practices exposures. A single wrongful termination or harassment claim can cost tens of thousands in legal fees alone. Soma partners with specialty carriers like Chubb, Markel, and Nationwide to place EPLI coverage tailored to your trade, ensuring your business is protected regardless of workforce size or project complexity.
