For certain damages

Are these sentences correct:

1) For certain damages, you do not have insurance.
2) Certain damages, you do not have insurance for.
It would be normal to say 'You do not have insurance for certain damages.', but I think one could use '1' and '2' for putting emphases on 'certain damages'.

3) For John, I have worked. For Patrick, I have not.
4) John, I have worked for. Patrick, I have not worked for.
Again it would be normal to say 'I have worked for John, but not for Patrick' but I think '3' and '4' could be used for emphasis on the names.

Gratefully,
Navi.

navitasan I think one could use '1' and '2' for putting emphases on 'certain damages'. But omit the commas anyway. And the same applies to 3 and 4.
