Boiler & Machinery / Equipment Breakdown
|
|
|
Computers and other electronics require specialized Electronic Data Processing policies. These policies insure against losses resulting from direct physical accidents (including electric surge), reinstallation of software, and the cost of reconstructing data and media.
Coverage for Business Income and Extra Expense loss, due to computer or electronics “Equipment Breakdown,” can also be insured under these policies.
Mr. Daniel’s experience with Boiler & Machinery coverage dates to 1975. Whether your case involves direct damage to computers, machinery, boiler explosion, electric arcing or a consequential loss (i.e., food spoilage due to refrigeration loss), we have likely dealt with similar coverage or claims issues.
We welcome a call to discuss your specific case issues: 817.980.4897.
