Claim Example for Land Leased to Others

​

Parking Lot: A customer tripped and fell on uneven concrete while retrieving her car. She sustained a fractured wrist and incurred over $5,000 in medical expenses. She filed suit against the landowner for failure to maintain their property. The lawsuit was settled for $25,000 including defense costs.

​

Building on the Premises: Insured is a landowner and has a long term lease with a building owner where a tenant is a nightclub. A patron of the nightclub is severely injured and files a lawsuit against the landowner, building owner and the nightclub for negligent security. The jury awarded the patron $100,000 on behalf of the landowner. The verdict was paid in addition to the cost to defend.

​

Storage Lot: Insured owns a storage lot and had permitted debris to excessively accumulate over a period of time. The debris was unsecured throughout the property. A storm caused debris to blow onto an adjacent property causing damage to their building. The adjacent property owner brought a claim for $20,000 for property damage. The claim was settled for $5,000 which represents the landowner’s share of negligence.

​

Hunting: Insured is a landowner and leased land to a hunting association that failed to remove some traps from the land. A game warden sustained severe foot injury when he stepped into a trap. Medical expenses exceeded $15,000. He presented a claim against the insured for his medical expenses, lost wages and partial disability to his foot. The claim was settled for $150,000.
