Description
The Business Auto Policy (BAP) is the 'go to' coverage form for our clients who have liability and physical damage exposures. Protection for autos owned by, used by and even those autos not owned by our clients, but for whom they have vicarious responsibility can be afforded coverage in a properly-written BAP. This session will remind insurance professionals that coverage in the BAP must be 'constructed'. Much like a puzzle, once properly put together, the BAP is a work of art. If not properly constructed, any missing pieces of the puzzle can be result in anything but a beautiful picture.
