Commercial Auto Liability Insurance

COMMERCIAL AUTO LIABILITY INSURANCE INSURANCE

Commercial auto liability coverage provides protection for any business-owned or leased commercial vehicle.

It’s crucial to have coverage on your business-owned or leased vehicles. If you, or an employee experience an accident in your business’s car, you may be liable for bodily injuries, lost wages or any damage caused.

Policies usually include collision and damage coverage as well as coverage for property and personal damage to others.
