Coverage Beyond Livestock
The Hartford’s policy doesn’t just protect your livestock—it also extends to agricultural commodities and other property commonly carried by livestock haulers. This includes feed, equipment, and other materials that often accompany livestock shipments. With The Hartford’s Livestock Transit Insurance, all aspects of your transport are covered under one comprehensive policy.
Optional Coverages for Enhanced Protection
To further enhance your policy, The Hartford offers a variety of optional coverages to provide extra protection and peace of mind:
Unique & Valuable Coverages
- Post-Transit Losses: The Hartford extends coverage beyond the point of arrival, ensuring that any losses or damages that occur after the transport is completed are still covered.
- Refusal of Shipment: Extends the livestock transit coverage to include coverage for the depreciation in value of covered livestock when such depreciation is due to the consignee’s refusal of the entire shipment as a result of a covered cause of loss.
Additional Optional Coverages
- Carcass Removal: In the unfortunate event that livestock dies during transit, this coverage provides for the safe removal of the carcasses, minimizing potential logistical challenges and financial losses.
- Vehicle Substitution: If your transport vehicle becomes disabled or unusable, this coverage allows for the substitution of another vehicle, ensuring that the delivery process continues without unnecessary delays.
- Deck Collapse Protection: Transporting livestock on decks can be risky. With deck collapse protection, The Hartford provides coverage for damage or loss if the deck of the transport vehicle fails during transit.
