Hypothetical claim scenarios
These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.
- A high-value rug is damaged during cleaning. The general liability policy is generally intended to respond to allegations of this nature in the event of a covered claim, subject to property-of-others limits.
- Water from cleaning seeps under baseboards and damages the subfloor. Coverage for water-damage allegations depends on policy form and exclusions.
Frequently asked questions
Are rugs in my care covered?
Property of others in your care, custody, or control is often excluded or sub-limited under standard general liability. A bailee or property-of-others endorsement is generally intended to address that gap.
