 Q&A of the Week
Customers' Flooring under the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form

A Connecticut subscriber recently asked the following question:

We insure a flooring company that will store flooring in their warehouse that belongs to a customer. What is the best option to insure the property of others: merely allow the property value to be included in the BPP limit as the definition of BPP includes property of others or specify a limit for personal property of others?

ANSWER: The ISO CP 00 10 Building and Personal Property Coverage form contains a coverage extension for personal property of others that is in the insured's care, custody, or control. The extension carries a limit of $2,500. If the insured needs more coverage, the property should be covered under the personal property of others coverage, which is designed to cover such property. The business personal property coverage part applies to the insured's property.

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company sought a judgment declaring that several collisions constituted one accident under its insured's policy. This case is State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company v. Glover-Shaw, 2016 WL 687180.

Suljic was driving drunk southbound on Broadway. She crossed the center lane and hit Maxfield's car. She then swerved into the southbound left turn lane and rear-ended Kennedy's car. This slammed Kennedy's car into the rear end of Thayer's car. Suljic continued southbound, ran a red light, and hit Price's car which was then hit by Conner's car.
