Non Emergency Medical Transportation Insurance New Orleans — Why Few Carriers Offer This Insurance Part 5.

In part 4 of Why Few Carriers Offer This Insurance we shared the claims result of an unfortunate accident that was caused because of distracted driving involving Stan who was working for Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport.

Stan, up until the point of this tragic accident, was an exceptional driver and employee of Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport.  He always showed up on time for work and rarely if ever called in sick.

In addition, he was respectful and well liked by clients he transported.  Taking his eye off the road for only a moment led to the accident that resulted in nearly a $900,000 payout.

Let’s examine the total payout for the Non-Medical Transportation company and compare that to the payout for the HVAC Company:

Insurance claim Payout for Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport = $827,212.

Insurance claim payout for Acme HVAC LLC = $50,000

The carrier insuring Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport paid out 16 times more money versus what was paid out by the HVAC company for accidents that were similar.

Why so much of a difference?

The disparity is based on the fact that both passengers and those injured by Stan in the minivan were able to collect on the policy insuring Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport.

In the case of the HVAC company only those Rick (employee and driver of Acme HVAC LLC), hit in the minivan were able to collect under the HVAC company’s insurance policy limiting the HVAC company’s liability exposure.

But wasn’t it true that one of Rick’s fellow employees, Tony, was injured also because of Ricks negligence?

Yes, that was true, however because Tony is also an employee of Acme HVAC LLC, Tony could not collect under the commercial auto insurance policy insuring Acme HVAC, why?

It’s based on the fact that commercial auto policies exclude coverage for injuries of those eligible to collect under workers comp insurance. Tony’s injuries, even if they were significant, would be covered by workers compensation insurance, not the commercial auto policy.

Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport’s passengers, Ms. Jones and Mrs. Stone, are not employees of the transportation company so they would not be excluded from collecting under the commercial auto policy of Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport.

This is where it got really costly for the insurer providing coverage for Old Foggy Nonmedical Transport, and hence the reluctance of carriers who are willing to offer Louisiana NEMT Insurance.

There is one other factor that makes this insurance pricey that we will discuss in next month’s post.
