Work Signage on Your Personal Vehicle –Are You Covered?
If you’re involved in a fender bender, an all too frequent occurrence, or worse yet, a major accident with injuries or death, you’re probably not covered if you have only personal coverage on your vehicle. You could be set back considerably or even financially ruined in the event of an accident. Check with your insurance provider to make sure you can cover the losses. Ask for a commercial policy with limited personal use. It will cost you a little more for the premiums, but will provide you with security.
