Working on the job without a commercial auto insurance policy can be disastrous for a small business owner. If a vehicle is being used to conduct business, a personal insurance policy is often no longer applicable. That means that without a commercial auto insurance policy, the business could be responsible for:
Collision damage for any vehicle or property involved
Comprehensive damage caused by fallen trees or vandalism
Loading or unloading accidents that injures a bystander or employee
Medical coverage for anyone injured in an incident
Vehicle damage caused by an uninsured driver
All of these incidents would generally be covered under a commercial auto insurance policy.
In an effort to control costs, many Plumbing contractors opt out of commercial auto insurance and stick with, instead, a personal auto insurance policy. But this is a bad idea. Not only does it put the business at risk, but it also could mean that medical expenses and property damage may not be covered in the event of a collision.
Personal auto insurance is designed to take care of medical expenses due to a collision. What it’s not designed to do is cover a business in the event that another party decides to sue for damages. Damages in this type of litigation could be emotional distress, physical harm, or property damage and liability. These claims can cost a small business millions, and without the right insurance coverage, a Plumbing contractor could go out of business.
In Texas there are many types of Plumbers Commercial Auto Insurance coverage's available. Some of the most common coverages include:
