Bakery Insurance Claim Scenarios (these can happen to you, too)

• Bodily Injury Insurance

As he entered a bakery, the patron tripped and fell on the freshly mopped wet floor. The man suffered a broken leg as a result and sued the owner of the establishment for $12,000.

• Property Damage Insurance

While on her break drinking her coffee, the bakery’s saleslady decided to pitch in and help at a particular busy time of day. While serving a customer that had placed his laptop on the counter, she accidently spilled her drink on top of it. The bakery was liable for the $5,000 loss.

• Water Damage Insurance

A grease trap in the bakery malfunctioned, resulting in water spillage in the building’s basement. The man who lived next door to the bakery experienced water leakage from the adjacent wall. Another man who used the basement for storage suffered damages as well. The total losses amounted to 25,000.

• Fire Insurance

A bakery had a pail of oily wipe-cloths positioned near an electrical heater vent. The mix of heat and oily residue on the cloths resulted in a fire with a loss of $15,000.
