Claims Examples:

Bodily Injury:

Example #1 – A customer buys a hot dog from your truck. While eating the hot dog, the customer suddenly chips a tooth on something hard contained inside the hot dog. The customer incurs $700 in medical expenses and $6,000 in corrective dental expenses.

Example #2 – You’re operating a food truck at the flea market. Customers surround your truck to purchase food. The awning on your truck is suddenly knocked down by a strong gust of wind and a pole supporting the awning, strikes a customer in the face causing a laceration. The individual incurs $1,100 in medical expenses, $12,000 for surgery to repair scar damage and $10,000 for mental anguish.

Theft:
