To ensure that you and your staff are taken care of in the event of an accident, make sure you have the appropriate coverage for commercial truck insurance.
Liability Insurance
If you or an employee of your business causes an accident in an insured vehicle, this type of coverage will shield you from paying for any resulting medical expenses or property damage. Bodily injury and property damage limits are typically listed separately in policies. Many companies will provide a single limit option for commercial truck insurance, giving you more flexibility in how the costs of the accident are handled.
Property Damage
This insurance is intended to cover the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property, such as cars, fences, poles, mailboxes, and buildings. If a business faces a lawsuit arising from the accident, it may also assist with legal costs. Depending on the kind of business you run, its size, the number of vehicles you own, your assets, and your financial situation, you should have a certain amount of money on your policy.
Bodily Injury
When you or your employees cause an accident, bodily injury insurance is used to help cover the costs of other people getting hurt. Hospital care, doctor visits, prescription medications, therapy services, wage loss, and funeral expenses could all be covered by some of the costs.
Physical Damage
This choice will pay for any necessary replacement or repair work on the insured vehicle. Types of this policy include:
– Collision: For the actual collision-related repair or replacement of the insured vehicle.
– Comprehensive: For repairs needed when a vehicle sustains damage from something other than a collision with another moving object or person, such as a fire, theft, bad weather, or an animal collision.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist
Despite the fact that liability insurance is typically required for drivers, some people do not have the necessary coverage. If you or a member of your staff is hurt or your car is damaged in an accident that was the fault of an underinsured or uninsured driver, having uninsured motorists coverage on your commercial truck insurance policy can be helpful.
Other Commercial Vehicle Coverage
There may be special options appropriate for your particular business needs, such as coverage for:
– Non-owned vehicles to safeguard automobiles that your business does not own.
– Individual-named insured endorsement in the case of individuals or sole proprietorships, which permits coverage if the vehicle is used for both business and private purposes.
Talk to your agent about the best options for your commercial truck insurance. Make sure you have the appropriate insurance to safeguard both your company and your employees in the event of an accident.
