How Do I Know if I Need Business Car Insurance?

If you operate a business with a lot of vehicles, it is imperative that you get business car insurance so you are covered in the case of an accident. Let’s say you owned a plumbing company. Chances are you have a lot of vans under your control that are constantly in the field driving from customer to customer. If one of those vans runs into another car on the freeway on the way to call, you would be protected if you have business car insurance.
If you didn’t have auto insurance for your vans, it could be a disastrous situation. If someone were to get seriuosly hurt in an accident you could get sued for a lot of money and it my bankrupt your company. It’s not just other people that you need to worry about, it’s also your own employees, if they were to get in an accident you would owe a lot of money and damages.
Often when you get set up with this type of insurance, you pay monthly premiums depending on the level of coverage you choose. Typcially the more vehicles you insure, the lower your monthly rate that you pay. If you want 1 million dollars of coverage against accidental death, that may cost extra, but is usually included in a standard offering. Sometimes you get discounts for paying the entire yearly amount off up front instead of paying it month to month. If you pay it month to month the insurance company will most likely tack on interest charges of 7-10% and you will end up paying much more over the life of the policy.

Products Liability coverage protects you if you get sued because of Bodily Injury or Property Damage incurred due to the use of one of your products.
If you are merely a middle man and do not touch the product there is very little responsibility on your part and your insurance company will charge a low (distributor's) rate.
There is an exception to this rule. If you are importing products from other countries the insurance company will charge you a much higher (manufacturer's) rate.
The reason is: the insurance company feels they have little opportunity of recouping any losses they incur when they sue an overseas manufacturer (due to uncertainty about foreign systems of jurisprudence)
Underwriters have alot of leeway in the rates they charge for Products Liability (this is called "a" rating) and you should deal with an insurance broker who understands this.
Seperate the receipts you derive from domestically manufactured products from the receipts derived from imported products.
Get Certificates of Insurance from the manufacturers and distributors with whom you deal.
The insurance company will feel most comfortable with the products that are manufactured in this country by companies that have Products Liability Coverage as they will go after them to recoup any money they spend defending you against suits.
I hope this information saves you money

Your rates will not go up because of the medication. Individual policies are not allowed to increase the premium unless they do it equally for everyone on the plan in your area. However, if you are taking an expensive medication you will not be able to get another individual policy so make sure to do everything by the letter, pay your bill on time and never let your policy lapse because you'll never get it back.

Hope that helps.
The rate change for your renewal will be based on the type of accident (At Fault or Not At Fault) and the amount of money your insurance company paid out for repairs to the other party's vehicle. If there was an overall rate increase for your state/area that can also affect you. There's not a way to officially determine your renewal premium until closer to your renewal date. It should generate at least 30 days prior and you can speak with your insurance company about it at that time.
