Common mistakes

Filling out the CG 20 10 07 04 Liability Endorsement form can be a straightforward process, but several common mistakes can lead to complications. One frequent error occurs when individuals neglect to clearly identify the additional insured entities. This section is critical; it specifies who is covered under the policy. If the names are misspelled or incomplete, it may result in a lack of coverage when it is most needed. Always double-check the spelling and ensure that all necessary parties are included.

Another mistake is failing to accurately specify the location(s) of covered operations. This detail is essential because the coverage applies only to the locations listed. If a location is omitted or incorrectly described, it could leave a gap in protection. It is advisable to provide complete addresses and any relevant details that clarify the operational scope.

In addition, many people overlook the importance of understanding the implications of contractual obligations. If the coverage for additional insureds is required by a contract, the policy will only extend to the limits specified in that agreement. Misunderstanding this can lead to assumptions of broader coverage than what is actually provided. Review the contract carefully to ensure that the insurance aligns with the requirements.

Another area of concern is the timing of when the coverage applies. Many individuals mistakenly believe that coverage is automatic once the form is submitted. However, the endorsement specifically states that the insurance does not apply to incidents occurring after work has been completed. Not recognizing this could lead to significant financial exposure if an incident arises after project completion.

Finally, people often fail to consider the limits of insurance outlined in the endorsement. It is crucial to understand that the coverage for additional insureds will not exceed the limits set forth in the policy or the contract. This limitation can be easily overlooked, leading to misunderstandings about the extent of coverage available. Always clarify these limits to avoid surprises down the line.
