Commercial Lines Insurance

What is Commercial lines Insurance?

Commercial lines insurance is a type of property and casualty insurance or non-life insurance policy offered to businesses. The policy can cover a range of insurance needs for the business, including everything from auto insurance for the company’s fleet of vehicles to workmen's compensation insurance for employees.

Commercial lines insurance is significantly more complex than an ordinary insurance policy. There are many different policies and coverage options bundled into each commercial lines insurance policy. Instead of getting workmen compensation from one company and auto insurance from another company, a corporation might get all of their insurance needs through a single commercial lines insurance policy.

Making commercial lines insurance even more complicated is that larger corporations might use a combination of commercial lines insurance policies to offer the best utility instead of working with a single insurance company. One division of a corporation may be covered by one commercial lines policy, while another division may be covered by another commercial lines policy
