Transportation Occupational Accident & Contingent Liability Insurance


Chubb Accident & Health offers Occupational Accident insurance for non-employee independent contractor drivers who aren't required by law to be covered by workers' compensation (WC). This coverage is designed for transportation companies seeking high-quality occupational accident and injury coverage combined with cost-effective, flexible plan designs. Chubb also offers Contingent Liability insurance to transportation companies, providing legal defense costs and payments for any settlements on behalf of the transportation company in the event the Occupational Accident covered driver pursues WC benefits.
