Description

Whether losses arising from faulty workmanship are covered or excluded by a CGL policy is particularly complex and difficult to resolve. It requires a detailed and thorough understanding of exactly what happened and of any policy exclusions and any exceptions to the exclusions.

In the construction context, complications arise when the named insured is a subcontractor who is an additional insured under the general contractor's liability policy.

Listen as our authoritative panel of insurance coverage practitioners analyzes the CGL exclusions for property damage, the applicability of the your work/your product exclusions, and when coverage may be afforded under CGL policies.

Outline

  1. Property damage in general
    1. Damage to the insured's product
    2. Applicability to construction cases
  2. Damage to the insured's work
  3. Products-completed operations hazard
  4. Damage to impaired property
  5. Work of subcontractors

Benefits

The panel will address these and other issues:

  • Can faulty work be an occurrence?
  • What is the subcontractor exception to the exclusions?
  • How can policyholders obtain coverage from the contractual indemnification obligations and the insurance obligations of their subcontractors?
  • How does the "your work" exclusion mesh with a "product completed operations" clause in a CGL policy?
