Coverage context

What this coverage question means.

Commercial property insurance commonly addresses direct physical loss to scheduled buildings, business personal property, and related time-element interests, subject to the policy form and causes of loss. Wholesale review may be appropriate when occupancy, construction, protection, catastrophe exposure, valuation, vacancy, losses, or requested limits do not fit an admitted market.

Class context. Bars and lounges with door control and trained staff. Nightclubs reviewed case-by-case.
