Coverages Available in Business Auto Insurance Policies
There are several coverages that you will need to understand in your policy, starting with collision coverage. This will provide reimbursement for damage to the insured vehicle due to the fault of the insured driver. With comprehensive coverage, the vehicle is covered for incidents that do not involve an accident. If you hit a deer, storm damage and other incidents would qualify under this portion. Liability coverage is for claims against the driver for injuries and damage to people and property. Finally, there is specified perils coverage which provides coverage for hazards or events that are named in the policy itself. Keep in mind that the burden of proof will fall on the insured to prove that the claim is valid.
