An annual review
At American Insurance Brokers, we believe it’s important to have an annual review of your commercial truck insurance in Texas. This is an opportunity for us to make sure you’re getting the coverage you need at the right price. We provide free and thorough annual policy reviews for potentials.
Once you’re on board with our team, we’ll do this every year. During this type of review, we’ll typically look for three important factors. First, we want to see that your current plan has appropriately low deductibles and high limits. The amount you will have to pay before the insurance company makes any payment should be relatively low. When it comes to the absolute limit regarding what the insurance company will pay, the number should be considerably high.
Next, our team will check for compliance with all federal and state requirements. This has to do with the regulatory filings we previously discussed. While there are many forms to keep track of, your insurance company should always ensure that you’re up to date while enrolled in one of their policies.
Finally, we want to make sure you’re on board with a responsive insurance company. Did you get into an accident? If disaster strikes, it’s important to have a team who will work tirelessly to get you back on the road. We work with 35 “A” rated truck insurance companies to get you a competitive price and excellent customer service.
