New Hampshire Commercial Truck Insurance

In 2019, 5,005 large trucks were involved in fatal crashes around the country. That marked a 43 percent increase since 2010. In New Hampshire alone, there were 144 total crashes in 2019, with 4.2 percent of them involving a big truck, which resulted in seven fatalities.

With road accidents a constant and seemingly increasing possibility, it’s vital to understand the requirements for New Hampshire truck insurance and partner with an independent insurance agent to make sure you and your drivers are protected.

Why do I need New Hampshire Trucking Insurance?

It is, of course, a legal requirement to insure both your drivers and your trucks. Additionally, it protects your company financially. Here are some figures to keep in mind when considering truck insurance:

  • $91,000: The average cost of all large truck crashes
  • $200,000: The average cost of a crash with injuries (and that average only increases based on the severity of the crash)
  • $1,000,000+: The potential cost of a crash if fatalities are involved

Luckily, physical damage coverage protects you from losses, especially when a truck is put out of commission. But as rates continue to rise for truck insurance, it’s crucial to be informed about those things that are required and where you have some options.

  • Truck Liability Coverage

    The key aspect of liability insurance is that when your truck is involved in an accident, the policy covers any injuries or damage sustained by the other driver or vehicle so you don’t have to.

  • Physical Damage Coverage

    While physical damage coverage may not be required by law, it’s really just as important as having liability coverage. When big trucks are involved in an accident, the damages can be extremely expensive. The purpose of physical damage coverage is to protect you from those potential huge financial setbacks, especially when a truck is put out of service for repairs for an extended amount of time.

  • Motor Truck Cargo

    Motor cargo insurance is designed for the needs of for-hire truckers. It’s designed to properly cover the value of the items they are hauling. Typically, the party that owns the product being transported is responsible for the insurance because they are the ones who would suffer losses if their goods are damaged or stolen while in transit. This insurance ensures that their assets will be protected.

  • Truckers General Liability

    Truckers general liability insurance is designed to protect your company from any damage that might occur when there is not a driver behind the wheel of your truck.
