A Business Auto policy can provide coverage including, but not limited to:

 

Bodily Injury/Property Damage Liability: pays the cost of a claim made by a third person or people who becomes injured or suffer damage to property that your driver caused while operating a business vehicle.

 

Medical payments: pays for necessary medical and dental expenses incurred by a driver and passengers who are injured in an accident. This applies to individuals not covered under Workers Compensation.

 

Physical Damage:  Covers damage sustained to your tractors, trucks or trailers in an accident such as a collision, overturn or roll, regardless of fault. It also covers the cost of damage caused by other accidents, including fire, theft, vandalism and some natural disasters. This coverage is not required by law but if your vehicle is financed the lienholder will most likely require it. Physical Damage Insurance provides the trucker or motor carrier with the assurance that their vehicles are protected and that their livelihood will not be compromised.

 

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists: Uninsured Motorist pays for necessary medical expenses incurred by an insured and passengers if injured in an accident where another party is responsible for the injuries but that party is does not have insurance. Underinsured Motorist pays when the other party does not have enough insurance to cover the loss up to the limit on your policy. Your limits must be higher than those of the at-fault driver. In some states, an insured may also have coverage for damage to an insured vehicle.

 

Personal Injury Protection (PIP): often referred to as no fault coverage in those states where it is required. Regardless of who is responsible for the accident this coverage pays the medical expenses, lost wages, incidental expense related to an injury and funeral expense for you, your family and passengers in your vehicle. Coverage will also extend to you and your family if injured as a pedestrian.

 

Other than Collision (Comprehensive Coverage): covers certain types of damage to a vehicle insured under the policy such as, fire, theft, glass breakage, vandalism, flood, falling objects, and contact with animals or fowl. The policy pays to repair your vehicle but no greater then your actual cash value less your comprehensive deductible. While this coverage is required when your have a lien or lease the vehicle; it is recommended when the value of a vehicle is greater than an amount the owner would be willing to pay out of pocket to repair or replace a damaged vehicle.
