In West Virginia (WV), commercial auto insurance is required for vehicles used for business purposes, such as cars, trucks, and vans. This type of insurance provides coverage for vehicle damage, driver injuries, injuries to others, and damage to other people's property. The state mandates certain minimum liability coverage limits that must be met, which are typically higher than those for personal auto insurance due to the increased risks associated with business use. Coverage can include a variety of vehicles from cars and vans to specialized trucks like box trucks, service utility trucks, and food trucks. Business owners must ensure that their commercial vehicles are adequately insured to protect against potential claims and to comply with state regulations. It's important for businesses to work with an attorney or an insurance agent to determine the appropriate level of coverage based on their specific needs and risks.
