Commercial Insurance Questions
What is a certificate of insurance?
A certificate summarizes issued coverage at a point in time. It does not change the policy or automatically grant additional-insured status.
Do independent contractors need coverage?
Contract structure, state law, carrier rules, and the work performed matter. Carriers may request certificates and subcontractor controls.
Is personal auto insurance enough for work vehicles?
Not always. Ownership, business use, drivers, vehicle type, radius, and cargo can require commercial auto coverage.
What are loss runs?
Loss runs are carrier reports showing claim history and valuation. Commercial underwriters commonly request them.
Can one policy cover every business risk?
Usually not. A coordinated program may include multiple policies and endorsements based on the operation.
