Commercial liability insurance exclusions are common. Again, they don`t cover everything. What you should pay attention to are exclusions, which you may not notice right away, but which could affect you. A plumber/gas installer, for example, would apparently not be affected by an exclusion from welding and hot work. In gas fittings, however, small oxy-fuel burners are often used to fuse and weld pipes. This exclusion could affect your coverage in a sample claim like this. Coverage causes damage to a 3rd party`s property that is in your custody, custody and control. This case is an important reminder that when drafting or interpreting insurance policies, the usual commercial meaning of words and phrases such as “physical and legal control” must be taken into account. For example, if you are a mechanic and you are repairing a $400,000 2012 Ferrari 458, it may be best to discuss with your broker to get an increase in coverage for goods under physical or legal control.

Commercial and Product Liability Insurance is designed to protect you and your business against significant costs associated with legal proceedings resulting from your actual or alleged negligence that has caused property or personal injury to third parties while you are acting in the course of your business (including employees) or through your products. Yes, the policy should cover property in your custody, custody and control.

The court ruled that the property damage exclusion was applicable in the physical and legal control of the insured, and therefore the action against the insurer was dismissed. The problem with a liability insurance policy is that the insured must be held legally liable. For example, if he took great care of the product and locked it very securely at night and was still stolen or burned in a fire that broke out in a neighboring building through no fault of the insured, the insured is still liable under the terms of the lease. Yes, if you import the products, you are considered the manufacturer and your product and business liability insurance applies. The policy covered the legal liability to pay damages for property damage caused by a farm-related event. A cleaner hired to clean a carpet that has been fixed to the floor (Indemnity Insurance Co v. Excel Cleaning Service). The carpet was damaged during cleaning. There was an exclusion for property damage that was in the custody, custody or control of the insured. The cleaner`s duty was to work on the carpet on site. The carpet remained under the care and control of its owner. The exclusion was omitted.

A similar conclusion was reached by a detergent that damaged an oil storage tank during clean-up (Interprovincial Pipe Line Co v Seller`s Oil Field Service Ltd). There was an exclusion for property damage “that does not belong to you, but is under your physical and legal control.” This case demonstrates that homeowners may want to think twice or check the adequacy of their insurance coverage before agreeing to store a third party`s belongings on their property, even if they are stored free of charge. Property liability insurance may include an exclusion for property damage to the care, custody or control of the insured (or a low floor for such property). This could result in such an owner`s exposure to uninsured liability if the stored goods are damaged. Yes, in principle, yes, but your tenant would have to prove that the loss is due to your negligence as a landlord. Repairman hired to repair a boom attached to an excavator (Gray Brothers Engineering Ltd v. The New Zealand Insurance Co Ltd). The excavator was damaged during repair work. There was an exclusion for property damage that was in the custody or control of the insured. The insured was not allowed to move the shovel, structurally modify it or make decisions about his future.

It was found that the repairman controlled only part of the boom. He had no control over the other parts of the excavator. The exclusion was omitted. However, in this case, it is very likely that at the time of renting the trailer, the orchard manager would have taken out insurance for the trailer provided by the owner. While care, custody, or control exclusions remove property coverage, other insurance options offer protection, such as road freight insurance or garage insurance. Whether property is excluded from care, custody or control may vary from case to case. When a claim is filed, the courts look at the facts of the case to determine whether the exclusion applies. The exposure that triggers exclusion from the CCC is created by having someone else`s property in your possession. The exclusion applies only to personal property, and not to immovable property such as buildings or fixed movables. Real estate is a separate point from your liability insurance.

The insurer agreed to compensation of up to $100,000 as part of the additional benefit. However, this limit was much lower than the amount claimed. In an attempt to bypass the lower boundary, the Penfolds argued that the ties were not under their physical and legal control, even though the ties were stored on their property. The Penfolds said they never moved or controlled the ties. The sleepers were stored free of charge on the farm and allegedly on the basis of a “simple license”. Commercial general liability insurance policies often contain multiple exclusions. Coverage generally applies to property owned by the insured or otherwise explicitly listed in the language of the insurance policy. Other properties, such as rental properties, are often not covered by care, custody or control exclusions. Aside from my reading of the policy, there is coverage in the event that the insured is held legally liable, except contractually up to $250,000 for the rental of equipment other than motor vehicles. I do not know if the aircraft would be called a motor vehicle from what was provided to me. The policy provided additional recovery coverage for property damage “under your physical or legal care, custody or control,” but subject to a limit of $100,000.

Care, custody or control is an exclusion from liability insurance that removes compensation from the insured if the property in the insured`s custody is damaged. The care, custody or control (CCC) exclusion generally applies to items that are not in the insured`s possession, such as equipment rental or transported goods. CCC implies that if a person damages property in their custody but that is not their property, their insurance will not cover the damage. This poses a risk to craftsmen if a third party is damaged or injured by their finished work, which can be the case long after a job has been completed. Or if third-party property is damaged, if the craftsman is legally responsible for it, that is. An equipment repairer or mechanic who keeps the customer`s belongings overnight on their premises. The court ruled that the penfolds had physical and legal control over the sleepers. It was irrelevant that the penfolds did not exercise their right to move railway ties. The sleepers had been placed in the yard for safe storage. This was to prevent the ties from being stored in the rail corridor, where the risk of theft was known. In addition, the Penfolds controlled access to the farm.

If anyone other than the advanced services wanted to access the thresholds, they would have needed the authorization of the envelopes.
