Illustrative scenario · Not a reported client claim
01
The accident
An employee driving a company service van rear-ends another car, starting a chain collision. Several people report injuries, and the van is out of service.
02
The potential cost
Potential injury claims, damage to other vehicles and lost use of the company van can affect the business at the same time.
03
With relevant coverage
Commercial Auto liability may address covered claims against the insured. Damage to the van depends on applicable physical-damage coverage. Injuries to the employee and tools in the van require their own coverage review.
04
Without relevant coverage
A gap in business auto coverage can leave the company funding costs itself. General Liability is not a substitute for business auto liability, and additional liability limits deserve a separate discussion.
