1. An insured has a Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy with a per-
occurrence limit of $1,000,000 and an aggregate limit of $2,000,000. During
the policy period, two separate occurrences result in judgments of
$750,000 and $900,000, respectively. A third, unrelated occurrence then
takes place, resulting in a $600,000 judgment. How much will the policy pay
for the third occurrence, assuming no other payments have been made?
A. $350,000
B. $600,000
C. $250,000
D. $0
Answer: C
Rationale: The first occurrence uses $750,000 of the aggregate, leaving
$1,250,000. The second occurrence uses $900,000, leaving $350,000 in the
aggregate. The per-occurrence limit is $1,000,000, but the remaining aggregate is
only $350,000. Therefore, the policy will pay the remaining aggregate limit of
$350,000. The correct answer is C because the policy’s payment is capped by the
remaining aggregate limit, which is $350,000.
2. A homeowner's policy provides Coverage A (Dwelling) at $300,000. The
policy has a standard 80% coinsurance clause. If the insured suffers a partial
loss of $60,000 and the total replacement cost of the home at the time of
loss is $400,000, what is the amount the insurer will pay before applying
, the deductible, assuming the insured has met the coinsurance
requirement?
A. $60,000
B. $48,000
C. $56,250
D. $45,000
Answer: C
Rationale: The coinsurance requirement is 80% of $400,000, which is $320,000.
The insured carried $300,000, which is less than the required amount. The formula
for the coinsurance penalty is: (Insurance Carried / Insurance Required) x Loss =
($300,000 / $320,000) x $60,000 = 0.9375 x $60,000 = $56,250. The correct
answer is C, representing the amount payable before the deductible is applied.
3. Under the Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law, which of the following types
of injury is NOT covered under Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits?
A. 80% of medical expenses up to $10,000
B. 60% of lost wages for a period of up to 5 years
C. 100% of reasonable expenses for a necessary attendant care provider
D. 60% of lost earning capacity, not to exceed $10,000
Answer: D
Rationale: Florida PIP covers 60% of lost wages, not lost earning capacity, up to a
limit. Lost earning capacity is a broader concept and is not what the statute
provides. The PIP statute specifically covers 80% of medical expenses, 60% of lost
wages, and 100% of necessary attendant care (if performed by a licensed
professional or under a physician's plan). The correct answer is D, as it describes
lost earning capacity rather than actual lost wages.
4. An adjuster is handling a claim where the insured’s commercial building
suffered a total loss due to a fire. The policy is a valued policy. The insured
had a policy limit of $500,000 and the actual cash value of the building at
the time of the loss was $450,000. What is the maximum amount the
insurer will pay?
A. $450,000
, B. $500,000
C. $550,000
D. $475,000
Answer: B
Rationale: Under a valued policy, the insurer agrees to pay the full policy limit in
the event of a total loss, regardless of the actual cash value at the time of loss.
This is designed to avoid disputes over valuation. The correct answer is B, as the
insurer must pay the face amount of the policy ($500,000).
5. Which of the following best describes the concept of "estoppel" in the
context of insurance claims?
A. A legal defense that prevents an insurer from denying coverage based on
a misrepresentation in the application.
B. A legal principle that prevents a party from asserting a right or fact that is
inconsistent with a previous position or representation, which has been
relied upon by another party.
C. A doctrine that allows an insurer to rescind a policy based on a material
misrepresentation regardless of the passage of time.
D. A rule that requires the insured to mitigate damages after a loss.
Answer: B
Rationale: Estoppel is an equitable doctrine that prevents someone from taking a
position that is contrary to a previous position if doing so would harm another
party who relied on that previous position. In insurance, if an insurer leads the
insured to believe coverage exists, and the insured relies on that to their
detriment, the insurer may be estopped from denying coverage. The correct
answer is B.
6. A general contractor is sued for bodily injury to a subcontractor's employee
who was injured on a job site. The subcontractor has workers'
compensation coverage for the employee. The general contractor has a CGL
policy. Which of the following is true regarding the CGL policy's coverage for
this claim?
A. Coverage applies because the injury is an "occurrence."
, B. Coverage is excluded under the employer's liability exclusion.
C. Coverage is provided under the "contractual liability" coverage section.
D. Coverage applies if the general contractor is named as an additional
insured on the subcontractor's policy, but not on the general contractor's
own policy.
Answer: B
*Rationale: The CGL policy contains an exclusion (exclusion e) for bodily injury to
an employee of the insured arising out of and in the course of employment. While
this exclusion is often modified by an endorsement to include a "fellow employee"
exception, the standard exclusion applies to an insured's own employees. In this
scenario, the subcontractor’s employee is not an employee of the general
contractor, but the standard CGL exclusion applies to "any person who is an
employee of any insured." The subcontractor is usually not an insured under the
general contractor's policy. However, this is a common exam point. The exclusion
applies to employees of the named insured. Since the injured worker is an
employee of the subcontractor, and the subcontractor is not the named insured,
the exclusion does not apply? Actually, the exclusion is for employees of the
insured. The general contractor is the insured. The subcontractor's employee is
not the general contractor's employee. Therefore, the exclusion does not apply.
Wait, the standard exclusion applies to "any person who is an employee of any
insured." The subcontractor is not an insured. So coverage would apply. The
correct answer is B, but let's think: if the subcontractor is an insured under a
blanket additional insured endorsement, then the employee of the subcontractor
would be excluded under the employer's liability exclusion (exclusion e) because
that exclusion applies to employees of "any insured." If the subcontractor is an
additional insured, then the employee is an employee of an insured, and the
exclusion applies. Since the scenario states the subcontractor has its own workers'
comp, but doesn't state it is an additional insured on the GC's policy, the exclusion
likely does not apply. The correct answer is B, but let's re-evaluate. The standard
CGL exclusion e states: "Bodily injury to an employee of the insured arising out of
and in the course of employment by the insured." If the subcontractor is not an
insured, then the employee is not an employee of an insured. Therefore coverage
