  14. Let’s Begin with a Claim

  15. Blast at O.C. Eatery Kills 1, Injures 5 : Victims: Debris and darkness trap the injured, who mourn the death of prized bartender. Los Angeles Times August 02, 1993

  16. El Torito Grill A Blast that killed one man and injured five others caused by an exploding boiler. Pressure built up inside the boiler and the only way to relieve it was to explode. It shot the boiler through the roof like a missile.

  17. El Torito Grill The explosion occurred to the El Torito located in Newport Beach, California in Fashion Island Shopping Center. The El Torito was located across an access road from the shopping center. The explosion demolished the restaurant’s equipment room knocked down a wall to an adjoining wall to the men’s locker room and killed Antonio De Santiago, a bartender who was changing his cloths at the time.

  18. El Torito Grill The building inspector said the building permit was issued 21 year ago. He suspected that the problem may have been twofold: a plugged pressure relief valve and a malfunction in the unit designed to shut off the gas supply when the boiler got too hot.

  19. El Torito What really happened? The maintenance person removed the safety valve from the unit causing pressure to build up with the resultant explosion.

  20. Polling Question #1 On an Equipment Breakdown Form is there coverage for the damage to the Boiler?

  21. Polling Question #2 Is there coverage for the damage to the building that El Torito occupies?

  22. Polling Question #3 Is there coverage for the damage done to Fashion Island located across the street?

  23. Polling Question #4 Is there coverage for the damage to the customer’s vehicle that El Torito’s valet parked in the El Torito lot?

  24. Polling Question #5 Is there coverage for the death of Antonio De Santiago?

  25. Course Objective #1Review the exclusions and limitations in the Commercial Property forms that create the need to purchase Equipment Breakdown Coverage.

  26. My Hawaiian Vacation

  27. Typical QuestionAir Conditioning Units on a Building Question: Why do we have to have an Equipment Breakdown Policy to cover air conditioning units on a building? Answer: The units are covered under building coverage but ONLY for the perils of the policy

  28. The Purpose Of Equipment Breakdown Insurance The purpose of this coverage is to provide coverage for perils that are excluded or not covered in Commercial Property Policies.

  29. The Purpose Of Equipment Breakdown Insurance Special Form has exclusions that necessitate EB coverage On a “named perils” policy EB coverages are not within the listing of covered perils

  30. Four Major Areas of ExclusionsM.E.S.S. Mechanical Electrical Steam Boilers Exploding Spoilage

  31. Four Major Areas of Exclusions

  32. Polling Question #6 See Slide

  33. Electrical Exclusion 80% of all claims are from electrical or air conditioning equipment. http://www.jrfco.com/INSURANCEPRODUCTS/EquipmentBreakdown/tabid/190/Default.aspx

  34. Electrical Exclusion The majority of Equipment Breakdown losses The majority of losses include the element of Business Income. Business Income losses can exceed the amounts of the direct damage

  35. Electrical Exclusion in Property We will not pay for: Artificially generated electric current, including electric arcing, that disturbs electrical devices, appliances or wires. But if loss or damage by fire results, we will pay for that resulting loss or damage

  36. Mechanical Exclusion We will not pay for: Mechanical Breakdown including rupture or bursting caused by centrifugal force. However, this does not apply to any resulting loss or damage caused by elevator collision

  37. Steam Boiler Exclusion We will not pay for: Explosion of steam boilers, steam pipes, steam engines or steam turbines owned or leased by you, or operated under your control. But if loss or damage by fire or combustion explosion results, we will pay for that resulting loss or damage. We will also pay for loss or damage caused by or resulting from the explosion of gases or fuel within the furnace of any fired vessel or within the flues or passages through which the gases of combustion pass.

  38. Spoilage Exclusion There is no specific “spoilage” exclusion in the standard ISO forms. There is, however, language in the form that constitutes a “spoilage” exclusion along with “inherent vice”. Discussed in more detail in Learning Objective #2

  39. Other Exclusions or Limitations in the Commercial Property Forms Building Ordinance Business Income Off Premises discussed in Objective #3

  40. Ordinance or Law Exclusion: The enforcement of any ordinance or law: (1)Regulating the construction, use or repair of any property: or (2)Requiring the tearing down of any property including the cost of removing its debris. This exclusion is found in “almost” all property type forms including EB; EQ; Flood; DIC and more. Each type of policy must be endorsed to cover the Ordinance or Law coverage incurred as a result of the “perils” of that policy.

  41. Ordinance or Law An air conditioning motor burned out in a high-rise, senior citizen's apartment building.  Ninety-plus degree temperatures necessitated setting up four rented "spot coolers."  Overtime was required to get the motor back on line.Property Damage: $ 83,557Extra Expense: $ 16,794 Additional Cost to bring the facility up to code

  42. Ordinance or Law Look to response if it is only building or equipment, as well In Commercial Property the only coverage available is for “Building Ordinance” none for equipment Some policies contain limited coverage automatically Verify Business Income Response under Equipment Breakdown Coverage

  43. Business Income Business Income is a coverage part in Commercial Property Business income is as important for an equipment breakdown loss. Nearly half of all equipment breakdown claims now include an element of loss of business income or incurred extra expenses. Losses are more difficult to measure

  44. Course Objective #2 Review the need for “Spoilage” Coverage offered in Property Insurance and Equipment Breakdown

  45. Spoilage Exclusion There is no specific “spoilage” exclusion in the standard ISO forms. There is, however, language in the form that constitutes a “spoilage” exclusion along with “inherent vice”.

  46. “Spoilage” Exclusion We will not pay for: Decay, deterioration, changes in temperature, rust, corrosion, fungus, decay, deterioration, hidden or latent defect or any quality in property that causes it to damage or destroy itself: (a) Dampness or dryness of atmosphere; (b) Changes in or extremes of temperature

  47. Spoilage The Spoilage exclusions give rise to the need for specific coverage referred to as Spoilage, Consequential, or Refrigeration Loss depending on the form. Spoilage coverage can be provided on both the Equipment Breakdown Form and the Commercial Property Forms. There is a significant difference in the coverages provided under each of the forms.

  48. A control failed on a medical clinic's refrigerator, causing the temperature to dive into single-digit temperatures.  Drugs, which normally are stored between 36 to 43 degrees, had to be discarded. Polling Question #7

  49. There was a temperature spike in a warehouse storing radish seeds. Spike caused the radishes to germinate and the entire crop was lost. Polling Question #8
