- Can you help me with some tips Question? Imagine you are a deciding Judge for the following scenario. Decide who should win the case including the reasoning for the decision? 1. Chip bought an insurance policy on his house from Insurance Co. The policy covered damage from fire but explicitly excluded coverage for harm caused “by or through an earthquake.” When an earthquake struck, Chip’s house suffered no fire damage but the earthquake caused a building some blocks away to catch on fire. That fire ultimately spread to Chip’s house, burning it down. 2. Is Insurance Co. liable to Chip? 3. Argument for Insurance Co.: The policy could not have been clearer or more explicit.
