    Claims scenarios

    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.

    A hotel was destroyed by a hurricane. Since the hotel had property insurance, they were covered for loss of business income and cost to remove debris and rebuild, as well as cost to replace damaged business equipment.

    The main electrical switchgear for a building experienced electrical arcing. 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.
