Liability Coverage
Liability Coverage is a type of insurance that protects taxi drivers and companies if something goes wrong during their work, like accidents or passenger injuries. Think of it as a safety net that helps pay for damages or medical bills if there's an incident. Most cities and states require drivers to have this insurance before they can operate. It's different from regular car insurance because it's specifically designed for commercial transportation services. You might also hear it called "Commercial Auto Liability" or "For-Hire Liability Insurance."
