Business Insurance FAQs

Whether you have one vehicle or a whole fleet, we can implement customer coverage that will protect your business. The policy provides physical damage coverage for vehicles you own, lease, hire or use in your business and liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage caused to others by your use of the insured business vehicles.

It can include two types of physical damage coverage for the business vehicles:

• Collision loss: damage from automobile accidents.
• Comprehensive loss: damage from weather; theft and other non-collision causes.

It also includes two types of liability coverage:

• Bodily Injury coverage: for accident-related injuries to others when you’re at fault, including your legal expenses if you’re sued.
• Property damage coverage: from accident-related damage to someone else’s property, such as a car or house, when you’re at fault.

 

Glass damage is usually covered by your comprehensive insurance unless the damage was caused during an accident, at which point your collision coverage or the other driver's liability coverage may apply.

Workers Compensation is insurance that provides cash benefits and/or medical care for workers who are injured or become ill as a direct result of their job.

In addition to injuries from accidents, workers compensation covers injuries employees may sustain from other events that may occur while they are working, including workplace violence, terrorist attacks and natural disasters..
