About this episode

This episode discusses how insurance responds to accidents involving delivery drivers and the complexities of liability and coverage.

A delivery run goes sideways when a company truck collides with a passenger car. Injuries, vehicle damage, police reports — and the big question: does the driver’s policy pay, the business’s policy, or both? In this episode of Is It Covered?, Bruce and Brian Chapman (with Rich) unpack how insurance actually responds when a crash happens mid-delivery — whether employees use company vehicles or their own cars for work. ✓ What Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) covers for businesses using employee vehicles ✓ Why a driver’s personal auto can deny claims for deliveries/commercial use ✓ How liability is split when both the driver and employer get pulled into a lawsuit ✓ What changes if it’s a company-owned truck vs. an employee’s car ✓ When higher limits or an umbrella policy can keep a bad crash from becoming a business-ender Whether you run a restaurant, contractor crew, or small fleet — or you deliver on the side — this episode shows how one wreck can expose costly coverage gaps. 🎧 Listen now and make sure your next delivery isn’t a liability surprise.
