Claim Example for Contractor’s Equipment 

​

Fire: A contractor was clearing brush and debris from a work site in preparation for installation of a doublewide home. The area was dry and had not received any rain in over a month. While clearing debris, the engine compartment from a front-end loader came in contact with a pile of brush and caused it to ignite. The fire spread quickly and as a result, severely damaged the front-end loader being used, as well as another front-end loader that was in the vicinity but not in operation at the time.

​

Fire: The insured was using an excavator to clear land for a new subdivision. The excavator caught on fire. The fire started from wires around the battery making contact with combustible materials.

​

Overturned equipment: A general contractor was in the process of excavating a job site. The operator of a grader drove the equipment too close to the edge of a basement that was recently dug and still relatively unstable. The grader overturned and fell into the dug basement. Damage was caused to the cab, engine, and radiator of the grader.

​

Flood: A trencher was being used to dig water lines for a new subdivision. There was a small stream that flowed near the edge of the work site. Recent rains had caused the trenching work to stop for a few days, as the soil was saturated. The operator of the trencher moved it to what he thought was a safe distance from the stream. Another severe rainstorm came through the area causing the stream to flood. The trencher was caught up in the floodwater and swept downstream causing a total loss.
