The insured should turn in the claim and let their carrier defend them. They will have one of three types of gkll coverage (direct primary, direct excess, or legal liability).

Loss Runs

Best web site and work your way through the company. Fax a letter to that person signed by the insured. Follow up with a polite phone call a...

H & No Auto - Stand Alone

It's best to ad it to the gl policy. If you're talking about pizza delivery or something like that I know Markel used to write a stand alone policy for me. Try your local surplus lines broker. If all else fails you should be able to go to your state assigned risk plan and get some coverage there.

Try Norman, Spencer, McKernan - 800-941-9889 ext. 149 (Jeannie). They can handle all lines if the WC is not high hazard.
