Is there any product hazard coverage where a contractor has purchased a general liability policy that does not include 'products hazard' coverage?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Insurance Co. of North America v. Electronic Purification Co., 57 Cal.Rptr. 707 (Cal. App. 1967):
Similarly, in Kissel v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Company, Mo.App., 380 S.W.2d 497, the insured contractor had purchased a comprehensive general liability policy which did not contain 'products hazard' coverage. The insured damaged abutting property as a result of alleged negligent excavations made in connection with the building it had contracted to build and the insurance company disclaimed liability.
