What type of coverage does Business Auto Section 2 provide?

The Business Auto Section 2 provides basic liability coverage, which is designed to protect businesses from financial loss resulting from claims made against them for bodily injury or property damage caused by the use of vehicles in their operations. This coverage is essential because it helps shield the business from the costs of legal defense, as well as any settlements or judgments that may arise from accidents involving covered vehicles.

Basic liability coverage is a fundamental component of commercial auto insurance policies and ensures that businesses can meet state-mandated requirements for liability protection. It typically covers injuries to third parties (other drivers, pedestrians, etc.) and repairs to their vehicles or property when the insured business is at fault in an accident.

While other types of coverage, such as collision or comprehensive coverage, protect against damage to the insured vehicle itself, they do not address third-party liability, which is the critical function of the coverage provided under Business Auto Section 2.
