Electrical claims could arise form poor workmanship giving rise to system faults or fire, employee getting an injury during work, a power surge giving rise to damage to client Machines or computers, Third Party accident on a client site due to your negligence etc.
The following scenario demonstrates how a faulty work claim may occur.
D-Electrical Contractors has been hired by a property owner to install new lighting in an office building they cover. Two of D-Electrical Contractors employees complete the installation work.
Several months after the lighting work has been completed, the owner of the property complains to D-Electrical Contractors that the lights aren’t working properly. Dispite a number of attempts to fix the issue the owner of the property isn’t satisfied with the outcome and claims that D-Electrical Contractors employees failed to install the switches correctly and that they used substandard materials.
The property owner hires another electrical contractor to correct the mistake and then sues D-Electrical Contractors for breach of contract. The suit alleges that they used inferior materials and faulty installation methods constituted poor workmanship.
Our policies would look to respond in this instance under the defective workmanship cover, becareful alot of standard Tradesman policies would exclude this element of cover.
