Occupational Accident Insurance for contract drivers
Excess Occupational Accident coverage for trucking contractors protects your company and drivers. Contingent liability insurance protects your company from financial liability and litigation-related expenses while Occupational Accident coverage provides compensation when contractors or owner-operators are injured on the job. When your full workforce isn't eligible for workers' compensation, excess Occupational Accident coverage balances risk with optional AD&D coverage buy-downs and reuimbursements for Self-Insured Retention (SIR) deductibles on catastrophic claims not covered by insurance plans. We also provide accidental death & dismemberment insurance and business travel accident insurance along with risk mitigation tools to help you manage your fleet.
