One of the saddest situations we ever heard was a situation when one hard-working laundromat owner dutifully insured his washers, dryers and pressers. Sure enough, his establishment caught fire and the machines were ruined. The insurance company promptly paid to replace the machines. However, his establishment was ruined to the point where it was going to take some time to make the entire operation ready to be open for business again. Without comprehensive California laundromat insurance, he went bankrupt and ended up losing the business.
