Fire, Casualty and Surety Bulletins To Release Coverage Q&A Concerning 2003 Blackout

Cincinnati,OH – In response to the nation’s largest power outage ever, the editors of FC&S (Fire, Casualty, and Surety) Bulletins have released a special edition of the FC&S e-ALERTS newsletter  examining the insurance coverage consequences of such a major power failure. In this special edition insert and eAlert, FC&S will answer both the common, and unique coverage questions concerning the 2003 Blackout. Some of the coverage questions and answers include: coverage for frozen foodstuffs under both the homeowners and commercial property form, additional living expense for those forced out of their dwellings by heat and loss of power, various liability issues under the commercial general liability policy, and the business income/interruption losses and claims that are sure to arise. Other coverage topics will include; damage to property on power restoration (B&M coverage), tow and labor provision triggered by autos running out of gas, and various professional liability issues.

“While actual paid losses may be minimal, consumers and business owners are sure to be raising numerous questions about their policies and coverage. These types of questions will be examined by FC&S and its staff,” says FC&S managing editor Bruce Hillman.
