One of the many types of commercial insurance, commercial auto insurance, protects you from loss from damage to or caused by vehicles in your commercial fleet. If you or an employee causes an accident, this policy pays the damages to the other person’s vehicle or property and their medical costs. Each state in the US requires the owners of vehicles on its roads to carry insurance.
The states have minimum insurance requirements that include liability, bodily injury, and property damage insurances. Commercial auto insurance typically includes full coverage. That means it provides liability coverage, comprehensive, collision, loss, vandalism, owned, un-owned, and leased/rented car coverage. Your agent works with you to develop the appropriate commercial auto insurance policy for you. The insurance agency’s risk engineering staff can help businesses with vehicle fleets get information on safety improvements and accident avoidance. They can conduct an in-depth analysis of the firm’s driver safety records, review the potential root accident causes, and recommend strategies that can help prevent accidents. The staff can also recommend driver safety programs. Having drivers complete these courses can save you money on premiums.
