Laredo and Nuevo Laredo work like one big neighborhood split by the Rio Grande. Owners cross the Ju\u00e1rez-Lincoln Bridge to meet suppliers, crews head south to install equipment, and fall freight season keeps the World Trade Bridge busy right into the holidays. Your insurance paperwork, however, may not make the same trip.<\/p>\n

Coverage Territory: The Fine Print That Draws the Map<\/h2>\n

Every commercial policy includes a “coverage territory” definition. On most U.S. forms, that map covers the United States, its territories, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Mexico is usually left off, although wording varies by carrier and policy.<\/p>\n

How Common Business Policies Typically Treat Mexico<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Policy<\/th>\nUsual Treatment South of the Border<\/th>\nWorth Asking<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

General liability<\/td>\nMay extend to short business trips by your people, often only if a lawsuit is filed in the U.S. or Canada<\/td>\nHow does our form handle temporary travel?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Business property<\/td>\nTools or inventory left at a Mexican site are often excluded<\/td>\nCan we schedule equipment that crosses regularly?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Workers’ comp<\/td>\nA Texas policy may not fully respond to injuries abroad<\/td>\nIs foreign voluntary comp an option?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
