customer’s property whether or not the insured has been negligent

a specific type of situation where the property of one person is temporarily entrusted to another person for a specific purpose. The bailee form provides coverage for loss or damage to the property that occurs while it is in the care, custody, or control of the bailee, who is the person entrusted with the property. This type of form is commonly used when property is left for repair or maintenance, storage, or transportation. The bailee is typically responsible for taking reasonable care of the property and returning it in the same condition as when it was entrusted to them.

The bailee form may cover a range of property types, including vehicles, boats, jewelry, and high-value items. Additionally, bailees may include businesses or individuals who have temporary possession of property, such as auto repair shops, dry cleaners, or moving companies.

It is important to note that bailee forms may vary depending on the specific insurance company and the policyholder’s needs. Some bailee forms may have exclusions and require the bailee to take certain precautions to prevent loss or damage to the property. As a tutor, it is important to advise the owner or the bailee to read and understand the policies and contract before signing to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding.
