Janitorial Services Claim Scenarios

  • Bodily Injury Insurance

Tom owned a successful janitorial service business that was contracted to clean a group of supermarkets within New Jersey. One day just prior to a store’s opening, a worker was mopping the floor as a deliveryman entered. The deliveryman slipped and fell on the wet floor. He suffered a broken leg resulting in $32,000 in hospital and doctors’ bills and 18 months of lost wages. Tom was sued for negligence because his man had not put a caution sign or deterrent cones cornering off the wet zone. Tom’s NJ business insurance covered him for the suit in addition to providing $250,000 towards the $500,000 claim settlement.

  • Property Damage Insurance

On the way to a customer’s unit, John carried his carpet cleaner through the apartment building’s entrance and lobby. To his dismay, oil seeped out and spilled onto the marble tiles and floor runners. John’s business insurance covered the damages, providing payment for cleaning and restoring services.
