Auto Liability Insurance for Freight Brokers
Protect your freight brokerage from significant financial risks with our specialized Contingent Auto Liability coverage designed specifically for the US logistics industry.
Contingent Auto Liability insurance is a critical protection layer for freight brokers that covers your liability exposure when a motor carrier you've hired causes an accident resulting in bodily injury or property damage. This coverage activates when the carrier's primary insurance is insufficient, denied, or non-existent.
As a freight broker, you arrange transportation services between shippers and carriers. While carriers are primarily responsible for accidents during transit, brokers can face significant liability under the legal principle of "vicarious liability" and through contractual obligations with shippers.
The transportation industry faces increasing litigation and regulatory scrutiny. Without Contingent Auto Liability coverage, freight brokers risk:
Average truck accident settlements exceed $500,000, with catastrophic accidents reaching millions in damages.
Courts increasingly hold brokers responsible for accidents involving carriers they arranged.
Single uninsured claim can bankrupt small to mid-sized brokerages.
Over 80% of major shippers now require brokers to carry contingent auto liability coverage.
Don't leave your business exposed to catastrophic financial risk. Our Contingent Auto Liability insurance is specifically designed for US freight brokers, with coverage options tailored to your specific operations, carrier base, and shipper requirements.
