Claim Example for Lessor's Risk Only

General Liability: Severe wind caused the roof to collapse injuring two tenants of the building. The tenants sustained $15,000 in medical expenses. A hose on the dishwasher located in the second floor apartment unit ruptured causing water to leak through to the pizza shop on the ground floor. This caused damage the seating area and the kitchen. The shoe store sued the building owner for negligence and damage to their shop resulting in a third party property damage loss of $10,000. A passerby caught her shoe on a crack in the pavement and fell outside the insured’s building resulting in $2,000 medical expenses.

​
