5 reasons you need truck insurance

METRO MANILA, – Being a truck driver is a risky profession.

You do not only need to look out for yourself, but also pedestrians and other vehicles. Trucks have a lot of blind spots that other drivers cannot see.  

According to the 2019 Metro Manila Development Authority Accident Reporting and Analysis System, trucks are involved in 15.33 percent of total road incidents, with nine deaths recorded.

Truck crashes are one of the most fatal, often leading to serious injuries or death. If you get involved in a crash, you may not have the financial resources to cover any damages or injuries out of your pocket. For this reason, Assurance.PH offers the financial protection you need for unforeseen circumstances.

Here are some other reasons that you need Assurance.PH Truck Protect:

You may experience a serious partial loss

In crashes that result in serious damage to your truck, you may not have the ready cash you need for repairs.

The collision could be the fault of your authorized driver or a third party. An Assurance.PH policy will cover this under “Own Damage.”

You may experience a total loss  

In case of a crash resulting in serious damage to your truck, with repair costs almost the same as the cost of a similar vehicle, you or your company may not have enough cash to replace your truck.  

An Assurance.PH  truck insurance policy will provide the funds under “Own Damage” rider.

You may be a victim of carnapping, carjacking or theft  

In case your truck or some parts is stolen, you may not have enough money to cover replacements. Assurance.PH will cover this under “Theft.”

You may injure other people  

In the event that the truck driver causes a crash resulting in injuries to pedestrians, other drivers and passengers of other vehicles, you may not have the money to pay for the financial, professional and legal resources to cover for the cost of injury.

Assurance.PH will pay for the cost of third-party liability and excess bodily injuries.

You may damage other vehicles and properties

Should the truck driver cause a crash that results in damage to other vehicles and stationary properties, you may not have the financial, professional and legal resources to shoulder the expenses.

At Assurance.PH, we will make sure that you are covered under the "Voluntary Third Party Property Damage (VTPPD)."
