Re: [World] Tempered Glass/Insurance covers scratching?

[Paul LeGrand <addressis@removed>]

Please set me straight if I'm incorrect in this, but I
don't think your liability insurance would cover
scratching anyway, would it? The liability insurance I
carry assumes that I know what I'm doing related to my
field, and won't cover things like scratches on glass
and the subsequent replacement. If I accidentally put
a ladder through a window, or dropped a squeegee on
the Mercedes that's different. Please let me know if
my understanding of coverage is incomplete. Thanks,
Paul LeGrand
