Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

Picture a torsion spring releasing during a service call and a winding bar striking the homeowner standing nearby; in the event of a covered claim, the general liability portion is intended to respond to the bodily-injury demand.
Suppose a door you installed later drops onto a parked car because of a failed component — completed-operations coverage may help respond to the resulting property-damage claim.
