Example: A simple way to understand this coverage is: Your truck is loaded and you’re ready to visit a job site. Unfortunately, your vehicle is involved in a rollover accident and flips upside down. The items that fall out are likely to be covered by Inland Marine Insurance. Call now to speak to a licensed specialist to customize your insurance coverage to fit your business’s needs.
