FRATERNAL INSURANCE

Commercial Automobile

Commercial Automobile insurance protects businesses when a company-owned vehicle is involved in a collision, is stolen, vandalized, or otherwise damaged. Commercial auto coverage also may cover damage when your insured company-owned vehicle damages other vehicles, other person’s property, or causes bodily injury to others from an accident.

What It Covers

There are five basic types of protection typically provided by commercial automobile insurance policies:

  • Comprehensive coverage pays for vandalism, theft, storms, or other damages not collision related to your company owned and insured vehicles.
  • Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle resulting from an accident with another car or object.
  • Auto Liability covers costs resulting from bodily injury or property damage to other persons caused by your vehicle including legal costs if you are sued.
  • Medical payments for medical bills from passenger injuries resulting from accidents involving your vehicle.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage protects your business in case a driver without insurance or with inadequate limits of insurance injures your drivers or passengers while riding in your vehicle or damages your vehicle.
