Graff v. Allstate Insurance Company, 113 Wash. App. 799; 54 P.3d 1266 (Wash, Ct. App. 2002), Insured filed a claim for cleanup expenses after a tenant's methamphetamine laboratory damaged his rental house. The insurer denied the claim, citing the policy's contamination exclusion.
The insured sued for breach of contract, and the trial court held in favor of the insured, finding that his insurance policy covered the cleanup expenses. 49
Cause of loss Options –
The appellate court affirmed the trial court and stated that operation of a methamphetamine laboratory is vandalism, a covered event under the policy at issue. This decision runs counter to the general understanding of what constitutes vandalism, regardless of the nature of the premises or operations at issue
