Practical Analysis

The Fire Next Door Doesn't End When the Flames Go Out

About this publication

Consequential damages resulting from a neighbouring fire aren't limited to scorched siding and broken fences. What happens when the family next door witnesses an explosion, fears for children or pets, and then spends months dealing with debris, investigations and rebuilding delays? This Binder Insurance article examines possible psychological injury and nervous shock claims, property interference, fire negligence and the separate question of insurance indemnity.
