NY appellate court sides with warehouse owner in insurance dispute
Lok-N-Logs, Inc., which owns a warehouse in the Village of Sherburne, Chenango County, filed a claim with Leatherstocking Cooperative Insurance Company after copper and brass were stolen from the building’s electrical and plumbing systems during a break-in in April 2020. Leatherstocking denied the claim, invoking policy exclusions that bar coverage for vandalism when a property is vacant for more than 30 consecutive days, and that suspend coverage entirely if the property is vacant or unoccupied for more than 60 days.
