Driving Risk: The Rising Costs of Auto Insurance in Construction

In the inaugural episode of the "Astrus Advantage" podcast, host Danette Beck welcomes fellow Astrus leaders Geoffrey Hall, Bob Albertini and Dave Conway to examine the rising costs and complexities of commercial auto insurance in the construction industry. They explore key drivers such as distracted driving, social inflation, nuclear verdicts, extreme weather and persistent labor shortages, and how these factors are shaping today’s risk landscape. Their discussion also highlights proven strategies such as culture, technology and risk mitigation that Astrus leverages to help contractors reduce claims, improve safety and strengthen operations.
