Lafayette Louisiana Tow Truck Insurance – Exclusions of Coverage- Don’t Skip Reading the Fine Print!
Today we will continue to look at exclusions of coverage in the typical commercial auto insurance policy. Exclusions of coverage are specific situations where coverage for a certain type of claim could be denied by the insurance company.
Exclusions of coverage are listed in the commercial auto insurance policy and it’s important to understand what is not covered.
Lafayette Louisiana Tow Truck Insurance – Coverage Scenario.
The last time we saw “Tightwad” Timmy Tomkins, owner of Slim Timmy’s Top-Tier Towing, he had just received a call from one of his tow truck drivers.
While driving down a dark country road, a group of deer ran across the road and the driver, before he had time to react, hit the last one head on causing a significant amount of damage to the tow truck to the tune of $18,917 of damages.
Only one week after Timmy files a claim for damage to his tow truck he receives notice from his insurance company informing him that his claim has been denied!
How can this be?
To answer that question, we must take a look at Timmy’s policy. Remember that Timmy went with a type of coverage called Specified Causes of Loss Coverage?
This kind of coverage only protects your vehicles from damage due to specific causes clearly listed in the policy. So in other words, for coverage to apply the claim event must be listed in his policy.
Here is that section from Timmy’s policy:
We will pay for loss to a covered auto or its equipment under Specified Causes of Loss Coverage Caused by:
(1) Fire, lightning or explosion; (2) Theft; (3) Windstorm, hail or earthquake; (4) Flood; (5) Mischief or vandalism; or (6) The sinking, burning, collision or derailment of any conveyance transporting the covered auto.
Do you see something missing?
Yes indeed. Collison with an animal is not listed as a covered peril under the coverage he had chosen therefore it is not covered!
That’s a pretty tough lesson to learn the hard way. Timmy writes a check of $18,917 to the body shop to get his tow truck back in running order.
Here’s a follow-up question, a personal automobile insurance policy would have covered a claim due to an accident with an animal.
Why is damage caused by an animal not listed on Timmy’s insurance policy?
We will answer that question in next week’s article.
