Claims scenarios
Shipyard storm preparation
A shipyard located in an evacuation zone was required to move some of their sensitive equipment in preparation for an imminent storm. Because the company had comprehensive Property insurance tailored to its needs, they had complete insurance coverage for the relocation of the equipment.
Hurricane at the hotel
A hotel was destroyed by a hurricane. Since the hotel had Property insurance, they were covered for loss of business income, the cost to remove debris and rebuild, as well as the cost to replace damaged business equipment.
Electrical fire incident
The main electrical switchgear for a building experienced electrical arcing. The staff sprayed chemical fire extinguishers on it to prevent fire, but this did not stop the arcing. The switchgear and cabling were destroyed, requiring complete replacement. Since the building owner had Equipment Breakdown coverage, the $90,000 cost of replacement was covered.
