PARATRANSIT INSURANCE

Your paratransit insurance policy features liability protection consisting of:

• Commercial general liability: CGL offers general liability coverage for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.
• Commercial auto (available in most states): Provides liability coverage for injuries and property damage caused by paratransit vehicles.
• New operators coverage: Offers coverage for new/inexperienced paratransit vehicle drivers.
• Hired & non-owned auto: Hired auto insurance covers paratransit vehicles you lease or rent, while non-owned coverage applies when employees use their personal vehicles to provide paratransit services.
• Individual liability: Provides personal liability protection for paratransit service company owners.
• Communicable disease coverage: Offers liability protection, resulting directly from a pandemic, in the event you are named in a lawsuit regarding a customer alleging they were exposed from your operation.

In addition to liability insurance, you can also get the following types of commercial physical damage insurance, which covers damage to your company’s vehicles:

• Collision: Pays for damages to your vehicle if it collides with another object or overturns or rolls.
• Comprehensive: Covers non-accident-related damage like theft, vandalism, hail or fire.

Another type of essential insurance for paratransit companies is medical coverage, which pays for injuries sustained by your driver and passengers.

Besides paratransit buses and vans, insurance is available for vehicles such as ambulettes, medicars, autos owned by social services organizations and healthcare providers that offer transportation services to their patients.

Please note that we do not provide workers’ comp.

The following scenarios represent situations where your company will benefit from carrying paratransit insurance:

• Your driver backs a van up to a wheelchair ramp and strikes a pedestrian he didn’t see in the path. The bodily injury component of liability insurance will cover the pedestrian’s medical expenses and provide lawsuit protection.
• Your company’s van collides with the rear of another auto in heavy traffic, causing extensive damage. Your policy’s property damage coverage would pay to repair the other vehicle, while the collision component of physical damage protection will cover the repairs to your van.
• You come out to your business facility’s parking lot one morning and discover that one of your paratransit vans has been stolen. If you have comprehensive coverage, your policy will compensate you for the loss.
• One of your drivers travels too fast around a sharp curve, resulting in an injury to a passenger. Your policy’s medical coverage would pay for the passenger’s medical bills.
