| Re: Legal Question
Steve, I would agree 100% with all the Chuck indicates here, however, I highly doubt your homeowner's policy would afford you any protection here. As he suggests, checking the coverage fine print is a start. Practically speaking, I would bet the underwriter would deny coverage initially and then you would have to show that the event of loss is within the scope of coverage (again, referring to the fine print) - not easy to win this battle.
Regarding the release and hold harmless, be sure it includes a release of not just you but also your assigns/successors/etc. just in case, and, that it releases for both events or defects known or unknown at the time of release and anytime thereafter. |
