Fire & Casualty Exam #3

A care, custody, control exclusion is commonly found in liability policies, which creates the need for inland marine coverage. This exclusion states that the liability policy does not cover any property that is in the care, custody, or control of the insured. Inland marine coverage is designed to provide insurance for property that is not covered by traditional liability policies, such as property that is being transported or temporarily in the possession of the insured. Therefore, the presence of a care, custody, control exclusion in a liability policy necessitates the need for additional coverage through inland marine insurance.

The recommended policy would be HO-3 because it provides open peril coverage for the applicant's home (building structure). HO-2, HO-6, and HO-8 do not offer the same level of coverage as HO-3.

An insured would need an inland marine policy if she is shipping stock on her own trucks because the policy provides coverage for property that is in transit or being transported. In this case, the stock is only covered if it is in the building or within 100ft of the building premises, which means it would not be covered while being transported on the insured's own trucks. Therefore, an inland marine policy is necessary to ensure that the stock is protected during transit.

The replacement cost refers to the amount of money required to replace a property with a similar one of the same quality and construction. This value is determined by considering the current market prices of materials and labor. Unlike actual cash value, which takes into account depreciation, replacement cost does not consider the age or condition of the property. Market value, on the other hand, is the price at which a property can be bought or sold in the current market. Stated value is not a commonly used term in property valuation.

The correct answer is to tell him he should add the personal injury endorsement. This endorsement provides coverage for claims related to false arrest, libel, and slander, which are considered personal injuries. Adding this endorsement to the homeowner's policy would ensure that the insured has liability protection against such claims.

Loss to stamps is excluded when they are being shipped by a freight company. This means that if the stamps are damaged or lost during the shipping process, the policy does not cover the loss. This exclusion is likely because shipping stamps can be risky, as they are small and valuable items that can easily be misplaced or damaged during transportation. Therefore, it is important for stamp collectors or sellers to take extra precautions when shipping stamps to ensure their protection.

Self-funding of employee benefit plans cannot be used for death benefits because death benefits are typically provided through life insurance policies. Self-funding refers to the practice of an employer directly paying for employees' benefit claims, rather than purchasing insurance coverage. While self-funding can be used for short-term disability benefits, hospital benefits, and health benefits, it does not cover death benefits as these are usually covered by life insurance policies.

The initials S.T.A.R.R. stand for "methods of risk management." This suggests that S.T.A.R.R. is an acronym that represents various strategies or approaches used to assess and mitigate risks in different contexts. It is likely that these methods involve identifying potential risks, evaluating their potential impact, and implementing measures to minimize or transfer those risks.

The vacancy permit endorsement includes coverage for all of the perils listed, which are building glass breakage, sprinkler leakage, and vandalism. This means that if any of these events occur during a period of vacancy, the policyholder will be protected and eligible for compensation for any resulting damages or losses.

An umbrella policy does not have a standard coverage form. Unlike other types of insurance policies such as claims made commercial general liability, professional liability, and homeowner's policy, an umbrella policy is not standardized. This means that the terms and conditions of an umbrella policy can vary from one insurer to another. The coverage and limits provided by an umbrella policy are typically tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the policyholder, making it more flexible and customizable compared to other types of insurance policies.

HO-5 would be used for a new single-family dwelling. HO-5 is a type of homeowners insurance policy that provides the broadest coverage for both the dwelling and personal property. It offers protection against a wide range of perils, including fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters. This type of policy is typically recommended for newer and higher-value homes, as it provides more comprehensive coverage compared to other HO policies such as HO-8, HO-6, and HO-4.

Market value refers to the current value of a property in the open market. It represents the price at which a property could be sold. In the context of insurance, the amount paid for damage to property that is equal to the price for which it could have been sold is based on its market value. This means that the insurance company will reimburse the policyholder for the actual market value of the damaged property, rather than its original purchase price or replacement cost.

A commercial property policy provides coverage for tangible losses, indirect losses, and direct losses. However, it does not provide coverage for intangible losses. Intangible losses refer to losses that are not physical or tangible in nature, such as loss of reputation, loss of business opportunities, or loss of intellectual property. These types of losses are typically not covered by property insurance policies, as they are not directly related to physical damage or loss of property.

The correct answer is actual cash value. Actual cash value refers to the amount that an insured individual would receive to replace their damaged property, taking into account depreciation. It represents the current value of the property, considering its age, wear and tear, and market conditions. This differs from replacement value, which is the cost of replacing the property with a new item of similar kind and quality, without considering depreciation. Stated amount and agreed amount are not relevant in this context and do not accurately describe the concept of replacing damaged property.

The boat owner's policy is similar to the personal auto policy because both policies provide coverage for physical damage to the insured property. Just like a personal auto policy covers damage to a car, a boat owner's policy covers damage to a boat. Both policies also provide liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage caused by the insured property.

Grocers do not typically have a need for special inland marine coverage for their stock. Inland marine insurance is designed to cover property that is in transit or being transported, and is commonly used by businesses that have goods or equipment that are frequently on the move. Jewelers, stamp and coin collectors, and furriers often have valuable and unique items that need to be protected during transportation, making special inland marine coverage necessary for them. However, grocers typically do not have the same level of risk associated with their stock, as their products are generally not as valuable or susceptible to damage during transportation.

The insured may choose to purchase a HO-3 policy instead of a dwelling policy because they desire broader coverage. A HO-3 policy typically provides more comprehensive coverage for the insured's property, including coverage for both the dwelling and personal belongings. This type of policy may also offer additional coverage options such as liability protection. Therefore, if the insured wants more extensive coverage for their property, they may opt for a HO-3 policy.

The pollution loss caused by the bulldozer overturning and fuel leaking would be covered under commercial general liability insurance. Commercial general liability insurance typically provides coverage for third-party bodily injury, property damage, and pollution incidents that occur during the course of business operations. Since the bulldozer was being used to level a property for a customer, any damage or pollution caused by the accident would fall under the coverage of commercial general liability insurance.

The correct answer is that there is limited glass breakage coverage in both the broad and special forms. This means that insureds who have either the broad or special causes of loss forms for their commercial property will have some coverage for glass breakage. However, the coverage is limited, meaning that there may be certain conditions or exclusions that apply to the coverage.

Under a builders risk form, the insurance is required to pay any loss without a penalty for underinsurance at 100% of the completed value. This means that the insurance coverage should be equal to the total value of the project once it is completed. This ensures that in the event of a loss, the policyholder will receive full compensation for the damages without any deduction or penalty for being underinsured.

An exposure unit is the measure of loss potential used for pricing insurance. It refers to the unit of measurement that insurance companies use to determine the amount of risk an individual or entity poses. The more exposure units an insured has, the higher the potential for loss and the higher the insurance premium. It allows insurers to calculate the likelihood of a claim and set appropriate pricing for the insurance coverage.

Personnel loss exposure refers to the risk that a business faces when a key employee is no longer able to perform their duties due to death, retirement, resignation, or disability. This loss can have significant consequences for the organization, including disruptions to operations, loss of expertise, and potential financial losses. Therefore, personnel loss exposure is the correct answer as it accurately describes the type of loss a business may experience in such situations.

When a building has been vacant for more than 60 consecutive days under a building and personal property coverage form, the effect on a vandalism loss is that the loss is excluded. This means that if any vandalism occurs during the period of vacancy, the insurance policy will not cover the resulting loss or damages.

If an insured signs a claim form for a claim which is fraudulent, they may be guilty of perjury. Perjury refers to the act of deliberately providing false information under oath or in a sworn statement. By signing a claim form for a fraudulent claim, the insured is knowingly and intentionally providing false information, which is a form of perjury.

A waiver is the intentional relinquishment of a known right. It refers to the voluntary act of giving up a right or claim that a person is entitled to. This can be done through a written document or through the actions of the individual. By waiving a right, the person is essentially choosing not to exercise or enforce that right. This can be done in various legal contexts, such as in contracts or in the resolution of disputes.

The effect of the "liberalization" condition in commercial property conditions is that it automatically applies broader coverage to the commercial property coverage part if a policy form revision would broaden coverage without an additional premium. This means that if there are any changes or revisions to the policy that would provide more coverage without requiring the insured to pay an additional premium, the broader coverage will be applied automatically. This ensures that the insured receives the benefit of any improvements or enhancements to the policy without any extra cost.

Falling objects is included in the broad form but not in the basic form. This means that if a falling object damages your property, the broad form insurance policy will provide coverage for the loss, while the basic form policy will not. Other perils listed in the options such as volcanic action, sprinkler leakage, and sink hole collapse may or may not be covered depending on the specific insurance policy and its terms.

The loss of someone shooting the rear window out while the car is parked on the street overnight would be covered under a personal auto policy other than collision coverage because it falls under the comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage typically covers damages caused by incidents other than collisions, such as theft, vandalism, and natural disasters. In this case, the act of someone shooting the rear window out would be considered vandalism, and therefore, it would be covered under the comprehensive coverage of the policy.

A fire & casualty agent is required to inform an insured of any conditions which may be precedent to coverage regarding a personal auto policy at the time of application. This means that before the policy is issued, the agent must disclose any conditions or requirements that the insured must meet in order for the coverage to be valid. This ensures that the insured is aware of any obligations they have and can make an informed decision about purchasing the policy.

If a motor home is scheduled on a miscellaneous type vehicle endorsement, it means that the insurance policy covers various types of property associated with the motor home. The property that is covered includes awnings, refrigeration facilities, and cabanas. However, luggage is not covered under this endorsement.

An implied warranty is a representation in an insurance contract that is not explicitly stated but is understood to be part of the agreement. It is a guarantee that certain conditions or qualities are present in the insured item or situation. Unlike an express warranty, which is explicitly stated in the contract, an implied warranty is inferred from the circumstances and nature of the contract. Therefore, an implied warranty qualifies as a representation in an insurance contract.

A reporting form is used for property insurance to ensure that the coverage limits accurately reflect the value or volume of the property throughout the policy term. This is important because the value of the property can change over time, and it is necessary to have the appropriate amount of insurance to avoid being underinsured or overinsured. By regularly reporting any changes in the property's value or volume, the insurance can be adjusted accordingly to maintain the correct coverage limits.

An inland marine policy that provides coverage for any loss unless it is specifically excluded is considered an open peril policy. This means that the policy covers all risks unless they are specifically listed as exclusions. This type of policy offers broad coverage and is more comprehensive than a named peril policy, which only covers specific risks that are listed in the policy.

Inland marine policies nearly always provide open peril coverage. This means that the policy covers all perils or risks unless they are specifically excluded. Open peril coverage provides broader protection compared to basic or standard peril coverage, which only covers specific named perils. With open peril coverage, the policyholder has more comprehensive protection as it includes a wider range of risks and events that could cause damage or loss.

The primary difference between a HO-2 and a HO-3 policy lies in the perils insured against. While both policies provide coverage for property, liability, and policy territory, the HO-2 policy typically covers a limited number of named perils, such as fire, theft, and certain natural disasters. On the other hand, the HO-3 policy is a broader form of coverage that provides protection against all perils unless they are specifically excluded. This means that the HO-3 policy offers more comprehensive coverage and is often considered more favorable for homeowners.

The ordinance and law exclusion/limitation in property policies such as commercial property coverage and homeowner's policies excludes the part of the loss that occurs due to the enforcement of a building ordinance or law. This means that if a loss is incurred as a result of the insured violating an ordinance or law, the coverage for that loss will be reduced. The exclusion cannot be removed or modified by the insured, and it is warranted that the insured has not knowingly violated any ordinance or law.

Insurance is designed to protect individuals or businesses from financial loss by transferring the risk to an insurance company. The benefits of insurance include payment for the cost of covered losses, redemption of financial uncertainty, and providing a source of investment funds. However, retention of the loss by the insured is not a benefit of insurance. This means that insurance does not require the insured to bear the full financial burden of a loss, but instead provides financial support to cover the losses.

The limit for sound reproducing equipment under the coverage endorsement for excess sound reproducing equipment, audio, visual and data electronics, tapes, records, disks, and other media endorsement in a PAP is $200. This means that the policy will only provide coverage up to this amount for any damage or loss to sound reproducing equipment.

Market conduct regulation refers to the state laws that govern how insurance companies operate and interact with their customers. These regulations cover various aspects of the insurance business, including underwriting, sales, rate-making, and claims handling. The purpose of market conduct regulation is to ensure that insurers follow ethical standards and treat their policyholders fairly. It aims to protect consumers from unfair practices and promote transparency and accountability in the insurance industry.

A liability loss refers to a situation where an individual is held legally responsible for causing harm or damage to another person or their property. In such cases, the injured party can file a claim for monetary damages to compensate for their losses. This type of loss is different from real property loss, personal property loss, or physical loss, which do not necessarily involve liability or legal responsibility.

The correct answer states that in the scenario where Kim gives her neighbor a ride and they both incur over $2,000 in medical expenses due to an auto accident, Kim's policy will pay a maximum of $2,000 to her and $2,000 to her neighbor. This is because Kim's personal automobile policy includes medical payment coverage with a limit of $2,000. Therefore, the policy will cover up to the limit for each individual involved in the accident, in this case, Kim and her neighbor.

The correct answer is "employees theft." This coverage would need to be in force for the loss to be covered because it specifically protects against theft committed by employees. Embezzlement falls under this category as it involves an employee stealing money from the company's bank account. The other coverages listed do not specifically address theft by employees and therefore would not provide coverage for this type of loss.

Ordinance or law coverage provides protection for all of the mentioned losses. It covers the residual property value of a home that needs to be demolished to comply with building code requirements, the cost of demolition and debris removal of undamaged property, and the increased expenses incurred by the insurer to repair or rebuild the property according to building code specifications. This coverage ensures that policyholders are protected from the financial burden of complying with building codes and regulations.

The adult day care coverage level of a LTC policy provides for part-time nursing at a facility for the elderly who live at home. This means that the policy covers the cost of nursing care for a certain number of hours per day at a facility, allowing the elderly individual to receive the necessary care while still living in their own home. This option is suitable for those who require some level of nursing care but do not require full-time nursing or constant supervision.

The purpose of the exclusion for liquor liability in the Commercial General Liability (CGL) contract is to exclude coverage for losses arising from an insured being involved in the alcoholic beverage business. This means that if the insured is engaged in activities related to the production, sale, or distribution of alcoholic beverages, any liability losses resulting from these activities would not be covered by the CGL policy. This exclusion helps to limit the insurer's exposure to the unique risks associated with the alcoholic beverage industry.

Built-in appliances are valued on an actual cash value basis under HO-3. This means that in the event of damage or loss, the insurance company will pay for the cost of repairing or replacing the appliances, taking into account depreciation and wear and tear. The actual cash value is determined by subtracting the depreciation from the replacement cost. This is different from other items listed, such as wallpaper, roofing, and exterior paint, which may be valued differently based on their condition and age.

Under a major medical plan, coinsurance refers to the percentage of medical expenses that the insured individual is responsible for paying after the deductible has been met. This means that once the deductible amount has been paid by the employee, they will then be responsible for paying a percentage of the remaining medical costs, while the insurance plan will cover the rest.

Section 770 of the insurance code refers to the prohibition of an entity demanding that insurance be placed with a particular agency. This means that no entity, such as a company or individual, can force or require someone to purchase insurance from a specific agency. This provision ensures that consumers have the freedom to choose their insurance provider based on their own preferences and needs.

In the state of California, rates that are considered unfair, excessive, or inadequate will not remain in effect. However, the term "impartial" is not mentioned in the question, so it is not clear whether it is an exception or not. Therefore, it cannot be determined from the given information whether impartial rates will remain in effect or not.

Personal loss exposure refers to the risk or potential for individuals to experience harm, injury, or loss due to various events or circumstances. This can include physical injuries, emotional distress, or financial loss suffered by individuals as a result of accidents, disasters, or other unfortunate incidents. It is called personal loss exposure because it directly affects individuals and their well-being.

The correct answer is Ron's registered/licensed personal auto while using on his own property which includes 10 acres of undeveloped land. Section II of Ron's homeowner's policy typically covers personal liability for bodily injury or property damage that occurs on or off the insured premises. However, the use of a personal auto on Ron's own property is not covered because it falls under the scope of an auto insurance policy rather than a homeowner's policy.

Insurable interest supports the principle of indemnity because it ensures that the policyholder has a financial stake in the insured property or person. This means that the policyholder will suffer a financial loss if the insured property is damaged or destroyed. Insurable interest prevents individuals from taking out insurance policies on properties or people in which they have no legitimate interest, thereby discouraging fraudulent claims and promoting the principle of indemnity, which is based on compensating the policyholder for their actual financial loss.

Yacht policies typically provide coverage for hull damage, protection and indemnity. Hull coverage protects against physical damage to the yacht, while protection and indemnity coverage provides liability protection for the owner in case of accidents or injuries to others. This comprehensive coverage ensures that the owner is protected financially in various situations related to their yacht.

The liability coverage in a yacht policy is referred to as "Protection and indemnity." This coverage provides financial protection to the yacht owner in case they are held responsible for causing damage or injury to others while operating the yacht. It covers legal expenses, medical bills, property damage, and other liabilities that may arise. This coverage is essential for yacht owners to protect themselves from potential lawsuits and financial losses.

The personal auto policy only provides coverage for liability situations involving the named insured's owned or hired vehicles. In this case, Lisa is driving a non-owned company car, which means it is not covered under her personal auto policy. To have coverage for this situation, Lisa would need to have an endorsement attached to her policy and pay an additional premium. Therefore, the situation where Lisa destroys a mailbox while driving a non-owned company car would not be covered unless Lisa had the necessary endorsement.

An insurer who has enough financial resources to cover all of its liabilities and provide for the reinsurance of all outstanding risks is described as solvent. Solvency indicates the financial health and stability of the insurer, ensuring it can meet its obligations to policyholders. Insolvent means the insurer cannot meet its financial obligations. Non-participating refers to a type of insurance policy that does not pay dividends to policyholders, and guaranteed refers to a promise or assurance, but does not describe the financial state of an insurer.

Financial loss is not one of the three main types of loss because it is a broad term that encompasses various types of losses, such as property loss, human and personnel loss, and liability loss. While financial loss can result from these types of losses, it is not considered a distinct category on its own. Instead, it is a consequence or outcome of other types of losses.

Under a commercial property coverage form, the definition of "building" typically includes outdoor fixtures, permanently installed fixtures, and personal property used to maintain the premises. However, a patio is not typically considered part of the building itself, but rather an outdoor space or structure adjacent to the building. Therefore, a patio would not be included in the definition of "building" under a commercial property coverage form.

Under a personal umbrella policy, an insured typically must maintain auto and personal liability coverage. This means that they need to have insurance coverage for both their vehicles and personal liability, which protects them in case they are responsible for causing injury or damage to someone else. Professional liability coverage is not typically required under a personal umbrella policy, as it is more specific to certain professions and not applicable to everyone. The option of having auto only coverage is also not sufficient, as personal liability coverage is also necessary to be adequately protected under a personal umbrella policy.

The correct answer is "Exceed a specified limit in a set period of time." This means that in order for a self-insured group to qualify for stop-loss coverage, their claims must go beyond a predetermined threshold within a specific timeframe. This ensures that the group is protected from excessive financial losses by transferring the risk to the stop-loss insurer once the specified limit is surpassed. The other options mentioned in the question do not accurately describe the criteria for qualifying for stop-loss coverage.

Concealment refers to the act of intentionally withholding or not disclosing important information that could affect an insurance contract. The given statement suggests that if no inquiry is made by the insurer, then concealment does not occur. However, this is incorrect. Concealment can still occur even if no specific inquiry is made by the insurer. It is the responsibility of the insured to provide all relevant information, regardless of whether or not the insurer asks for it. Failure to disclose such information can still be considered concealment.

If the limits of liability on a structure are $75,000 and the structure is worth $125,000, the policyholder is required to insure the structure for at least 80% of its value, which is $100,000. The policyholder has insured the structure for $75,000, which is less than the required amount. Therefore, the policyholder is considered underinsured. In the event of a fire loss of $50,000, the policy will only pay a proportionate amount based on the insured value. The proportionate amount is calculated by dividing the insured value ($75,000) by the required amount ($100,000), which is 0.75. Multiplying this proportionate amount by the loss amount ($50,000) gives $37,500, which is the amount that would be owed.

The primary medical payments coverage difference between a boat owner's policy and a HO-3 policy is that the boat owner's policy covers injuries to the insureds, while the HO-3 policy covers injuries to others.

Max's personal auto policy (PAP) provides liability coverage that is excess of his neighbor's liability coverage. This means that if Max's neighbor's liability coverage is not enough to cover the damages caused by the accident, Max's PAP will provide additional coverage. Additionally, Max's collision coverage also applies, but on a primary basis. This means that Max's PAP will cover the damages to his neighbor's car and the other car involved in the accident, regardless of who is at fault.

In this scenario, the loss caused by the fire and smoke damage to the neighboring property would be covered by Commercial General Liability insurance. Commercial General Liability insurance typically covers third-party property damage and bodily injury claims that arise out of the insured's business operations. Since the fire and resulting smoke damage occurred during the person's commercial activity of burning leaves, it falls under the coverage provided by Commercial General Liability insurance.

The correct answer is dwelling, other structures, and personal property. Section 1 coverages A, B, and C of Grace's homeowner's policy provide coverage for the dwelling (the main house), other structures (such as a detached garage or shed), and personal property (such as furniture and appliances).

The correct answer means that the liability coverage of the insured's business auto policy applies only to the autos that are specifically described in the policy. This implies that any autos that are not explicitly mentioned in the policy will not be covered under the liability coverage.

The CA insurance code requires property insurance policies to specify the insured's risk or perils, the policy period, and a description of the insured property. However, it does not require the insured's address to be specified in the policy.

Medical payment coverage in a boat owner's policy provides coverage for injuries sustained by permissive occupants of the insured's boat. Permissive occupants are individuals who have been given permission by the insured to operate or ride in the insured's boat. This coverage is designed to protect these individuals in the event of an accident or injury while on the insured's boat. It does not cover fare-paying passengers, passengers on another boat struck by the insured's boat, or employees of the insured.

The "additional coverage - property removed" of a homeowners policy provides insurance coverage against all perils. This means that any damage or loss to the property that occurs while it is being removed from the insured premises will be covered. This coverage extends to a wide range of perils, including fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters. It offers comprehensive protection for the insured property during the process of removal.

A business owner's policy is similar to a commercial property policy in terms of coverage. Both policies provide insurance protection for physical property, such as buildings and equipment, against perils like fire, theft, and vandalism. Additionally, they often include liability coverage for third-party injuries or property damage that occurs on the insured premises. Therefore, the correct answer is a business owner's policy.

The primary difference between an HO-3 and an HO-5 is the coverage of perils for Coverage C. While both policies provide coverage for property damage under Coverage A and B, the HO-3 policy only covers named perils for personal property (Coverage C), while the HO-5 policy offers open perils coverage for personal property. This means that the HO-5 policy provides broader coverage for personal belongings, protecting against a wider range of risks and perils compared to the HO-3 policy.

A self-insured retention under an umbrella policy refers to a deductible that applies to losses that are excluded by the underlying coverage but covered by the umbrella policy. This means that if a loss falls under the umbrella policy but is not covered by the primary coverage, the insured would be responsible for paying the deductible amount before the umbrella policy coverage kicks in.

The personal auto policy towing and labor endorsement covers the cost of labor only if it is performed at the place where the car became disabled. This means that if the insured's car breaks down and they need assistance, the endorsement will pay for the labor expenses incurred at the location of the disablement. It does not cover the cost of towing the car to a garage or any labor expenses incurred at a garage.

An insurability statement is not required when electing continuation of coverage under COBRA. COBRA allows individuals to continue their health insurance coverage after experiencing a qualifying event such as job loss or divorce. While a qualifying event, a complete application, and premium payment are necessary for electing COBRA coverage, an insurability statement is not required. An insurability statement typically asks for information about the individual's health history and may be used to determine eligibility or premiums for coverage, but it is not needed for COBRA continuation.

A fire & casualty managing agent does not have the authority to collect premiums from producing broker-agents. This means that they are not responsible for collecting the premiums from the broker-agents who sell insurance policies on behalf of the managing agent.

The correct answer is "Waived only for designated perils during the permit period." This means that the vacancy conditions under the basic policy are only waived for specific perils during the period when the vacancy permit endorsement is in effect. This indicates that the coverage for the building and personal property is only extended for certain risks during the permit period, rather than being completely waived for all perils or for the entire policy period.

The additional coverage available under the scheduled personal policy property endorsement that is not available under an unendorsed homeowner's policy is the breakage of glassware caused by an earthquake. This means that if there is an earthquake and glassware breaks as a result, the policy will cover the cost of replacing or repairing the glassware. This coverage is not typically included in a standard homeowner's policy, but can be added as an endorsement for specific valuable items.

Under a standard ISO homeowner's HO-3, the coverage for real property is provided under "all risks" coverage, which means that it covers any direct physical loss or damage to the property unless it is specifically excluded. On the other hand, the coverage for personal property is provided under broad form named perils coverage, which means that it only covers specific perils that are listed in the policy. Therefore, the correct answer states that "all risks" coverage applies to real property, while broad form named perils coverage applies only to personal property.

Abstracts, maps, and mortgages are typically covered under inland marine insurance. Inland marine insurance provides coverage for property that is movable or in transit, including property that is not typically covered by standard property insurance policies. Abstracts, maps, and mortgages are considered valuable documents and are often transported or stored in various locations, making them eligible for coverage under inland marine insurance. This type of insurance is designed to protect against loss or damage to property that is not stationary or located at a fixed location.

Both the HO-s and the HO-5 insurance policies offer open peril coverage for the dwelling. This means that they provide protection against all risks, except for those specifically excluded in the policy. This coverage ensures that any damages or losses to the physical structure of the dwelling are covered, regardless of the cause.

Loss sustained coverage would pay for losses that occurred during the policy period and are discovered up to one year after the policy termination. This means that even if the policy has ended, if a loss is discovered within one year after termination, the loss sustained coverage will still provide compensation. This type of coverage is beneficial as it provides extended protection for losses that may take time to be discovered or reported.

The correct answer is "Perils insured." A commercial lines program policy typically covers a variety of perils or risks that a business may face, such as fire, theft, or liability. This is a coverage provided by the policy, not a condition. Common policy conditions may include provisions related to cancellation, inspections and surveys, and examination of the insured's books and records, but perils insured is not a condition listed in the question.

The per accident limit in a split limit policy refers to the maximum amount that will be paid out for bodily injuries in a single accident. On the other hand, the single limit applies to all types of claims, including bodily injuries and property damage. Therefore, the per accident limit only covers bodily injuries while the single limit covers all claims.

A person may purchase a dwelling form policy instead of a homeowners policy if they do not reside in the dwelling. This means that they are not living in the property themselves and may be using it as a rental property or for other purposes. In such cases, a dwelling form policy would be more suitable as it is specifically designed to provide coverage for non-owner occupied properties.

The term "your" in the context of the commercial building and personal property coverage form refers to the named insured(s) shown in the declarations. This means that only the individuals or entities listed as the named insured(s) on the policy are covered under the "your business personal property" provision. Other parties who may have an insurable interest in the property or have their property in the care, custody, or control of the insured would not be covered under this specific provision.

The loss sustained form is a type of insurance coverage that covers losses that occur during the policy period, regardless of when the loss is discovered. This means that even if the loss is not discovered until after the policy period has ended, it will still be covered as long as it occurred during the policy period. This type of coverage is important for businesses as it provides protection against losses that may not be immediately apparent.

The correct answer is "excluded under the concurrent causation exclusion." This means that if a landslide is caused by an unnatural flow of water due to improper grading, it would not be covered under the insurance policy because it falls under the concurrent causation exclusion. This exclusion states that if multiple causes contribute to a loss, and one of those causes is excluded, then the entire loss is excluded. In this case, the improper grading and the resulting unnatural flow of water are the contributing causes, and since the improper grading is excluded, the loss is also excluded.

Pre-judgment interest is not covered in addition to the limits of liability under Coverage A of a personal auto policy. This refers to the interest that accrues on a judgment against the insured before the judgment is officially entered. While the other options, such as the premium for appeal bonds, loss of earnings to attend trials at the company's request, and cost of bail bonds related to a covered accident, are covered expenses under Coverage A.

The primary difference between a HO-2 and a HO-4 policy is the property insured under Coverage A. In a HO-2 policy, Coverage A insures the dwelling and attached structures, such as a garage. On the other hand, in a HO-4 policy, Coverage A does not apply as it is designed for renters and does not cover the dwelling itself.

A claims made commercial liability policy pays for bodily injury or property damage that occurs or is discovered during the policy period. This means that the policy will cover any claims made against the insured during the policy period, regardless of when the actual incident causing the injury or damage took place. This type of policy is commonly used in professional liability insurance, where claims may be made long after the alleged incident occurred.

A release bill of lading limits the carrier's liability on the shipment. This means that the carrier is not fully responsible for any loss, damage, or delay that may occur during the transportation of the goods. By signing a release bill of lading, the carrier is able to reduce their potential liability and protect themselves from certain claims or legal actions. This allows the carrier to operate with a certain level of risk management and helps to establish clear responsibilities between the carrier and the shipper.

The correct answer is that the policy excludes this usage. This means that if the named insured is operating a company car on a regular basis, the liability coverage provided by the personal auto policy does not apply. The policy is not designed to provide coverage for vehicles that are used for business purposes.

A discovery crime policy will pay for a loss that is found during the policy period, even if the loss occurred prior to the effective date of the policy. This means that the policy covers losses that are discovered or identified within the policy period, regardless of when the actual loss event took place. It provides coverage for unknown or hidden losses that may have occurred in the past but were not discovered until later. This type of policy is often used in situations where there may be a time gap between when a loss occurs and when it is discovered.
