• Commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 in aggregate for the year.
• Auto liability of at least $1,000,000 per incident, including trailer replacement coverage of $50,000 for all tractors.

Being liable for truck crash-related injuries can easily bankrupt a company, so you want to have maximum coverage to protect yourself.

Amazon Relay

According to Amazon’s CEO of worldwide consumer business, Dave Clerk, Amazon could probably be the largest package delivery carrier in the United States by early this year, or by the end of the year for sure.

This means there are tens of thousands of Amazon drivers out there, and even more, are being added.

Claims Against Amazon Relay Companies

When your company is working with Amazon Relay, you add some risk as well as reward.

First, drivers can cause accidents, and liability for an accident also means liability for the resulting injuries and losses.

An injured truck accident victim might have life-changing injuries, leading to millions of dollars of losses.

After a fatal accident, families might seek insurance compensation for wrongful death.

In addition, Amazon will want coverage of any goods damaged in a wreck.

Consider your company’s possible liability when purchasing insurance.

Often, the minimum amount is not enough to cover losses from even a single accident, as trucks can cause serious damage.

Our Amazon Truck insurance professionals can review your situation and provide advice on the coverage you need.
