10 Part Series – The Risks of Hiring a Towing Company in Edmonton That Doesn’t Have Adequate Insurance

The Risks of Hiring a Towing Company in Edmonton That Doesn’t Have Adequate Insurance

This is the third article of our 10-part series. This week we’re going to talk about Insurance. There are MANY companies in the greater Edmonton Region, and it’s unknown how many actually carry ‘proper’ insurance.

To take a minute to bang our drum, Tuber Towing is proud to share this. We hold multiple insurance policies that cover the different parts of our work. Each of these policies is well over the minimums set by various regulations.

There’s unfortunately no way to know without asking. A company with the right insurance can provide proof if you ask. Go ahead and ask. When you call, just say “Can I see your Proof of Insurance?” And no, it won’t just be a pink card! Thank you for joining us; let’s get into it.

When you hire a company in Edmonton, you want to be sure that your vehicle is in good hands. Unfortunately, not all companies carry adequate insurance. This can put you and your vehicle at risk in the event of an accident or other incident.

In this blog post, we will discuss the risks of hiring a company without adequate insurance. We will also explain why you should hire a company with at least $2 million in commercial liability insurance. This is especially important for heavy jobs.

First, a company without enough insurance can put you at risk of financial loss if an accident happens. If the company damages your vehicle during transport, you could face major costs. If it is in an accident that causes injury or property damage, you could also face major costs.

By hiring a company with the minimum in commercial insurance, you can ensure that any potential damages are covered. For example, an uninsured company might damage your car’s paint or interior during transport. Repairs can be expensive. You may need to pay out of pocket.

Secondly, a company that doesn’t have adequate insurance may not have the resources to handle heavy jobs. Heavy jobs need specialized equipment and skill. A company without enough insurance may not afford the needed equipment or training.

This can put you and your vehicle at risk in emergency situations where heavy assistance is required. Consider a scenario where your vehicle breaks down on a busy highway. An under-equipped company may struggle to safely extract your vehicle, leading to further damage or even accidents.

Moreover, a reputable company invests in ongoing staff training. This ensures they know the latest techniques and safety measures. Without adequate insurance, a company may not prioritize this training, putting both their employees and your vehicle in jeopardy.

Finally, a company that doesn’t have adequate insurance may not be held to the same safety standards as companies that carry proper insurance.

Companies with minimum commercial liability insurance often meet higher safety standards. They are more likely to have the right equipment and training. This helps them handle heavy jobs safely and efficiently. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your company meets these standards cannot be overstated.

Protect yourself! The company you hire is supposed to be there to rescue and protect you. If something were to happen, because things do happen, you could find yourself taking on even more expense and stress if they aren’t insured.

Many Albertans pay extra for collision insurance to protect their assets. Wouldn’t you want the company helping you to have similar coverage?

Additionally, consider asking for references or reviews from previous customers to gauge the company’s reliability and service quality.

In conclusion, hiring an Edmonton company with at least the minimum commercial insurance is essential. It helps protect you and your vehicle.

By doing so, you can make sure any possible damage is covered. You can also confirm the company has enough resources for heavy jobs. They will also be held to higher safety standards. Always put safety and reliability first when choosing a service. Remember, the extra peace of mind is worth the cost.
