  • Delivery Driver Runs Someone Over

    Delivery Driver Runs Someone Over
    Oct 14 2025
    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.
