Loss Scenario – Foreign GL
Our insured stored food products at a public warehouse in Rotterdam, Holland. The warehouse owner reported that there was an infestation of mites at the location caused by contaminated product that our insured placed in the storage facility.
Because of the infestation, all outgoing shipments were blocked by the owner.
Chubb claims determined that our insured’s product was the cause of the infestation and the claim settled for slightly less than $300,000 to pay for the infestation to other stored goods.

While visiting Ireland on a business trip, our insured borrowed a car from a colleague. While driving, our insured hit a house and killed a man.
