1. The carpet was heavily damaged when Scott left the bath tub running while he answered the telephone.

2. The home is located approximately one block from the Federal Court House and is damaged when a domestic terrorist tries to blow up the courthouse to protest the government’s use of force in the Middle East.

Expert Solution

1. Most Homeowners 3 policies cover the damage caused by water coming out of burst pipes or accidental leakages. In this case, damage is caused due to Scott's negligence and most probably will not be covered.

2. The act would be classified as terrorist act and is covered under HO3 policy . Please note, acts of war are not covered by HO3 special form policy.
