Adding the personal injury endorsement extends Section II to claims for:

a.Damage to property rented to the insured
b.Libel, slander and false arrest
c.Injury arising out of a business venture
d.Bodily injury to a resident relative

Explanation

Section II normally responds only to bodily injury and property damage. The personal injury endorsement adds offenses such as libel, slander, defamation, false arrest or detention, malicious prosecution, invasion of privacy and wrongful eviction. It does not open the policy to business liability, which stays excluded, and injury to a resident relative remains outside Section II as an insured is not a third party.
