**Florida Claims Adjuster Exam
,1. Frank owned a home that was destroyed by a hurricane. Both ABC and XYZ Banks were listed as
additional interests on his homeowner policy. The insurance company will make a payment to:
A. The first mortgagee, ABC
B. The Insured
C. Jointly to ABC and XYZ
D. All listed interests
ANS: D. All listed interests
Rationale: When multiple mortgagees or additional interests are listed, the insurer must include all of
them on the claim payment. The insurer is not responsible for determining the degree of interest or
priority between lenders. A single payment is issued, and the interested parties must determine how to
allocate the proceeds. This ensures all legal interests in the property are protected.
2. Insurance applies separately to each insured as if other insureds did not exist. This is defined as:
A. Severability
B. Conditional
C. Warranty
D. None of the above
ANS: A. Severability
Rationale: The Severability Clause ensures each insured person under a policy is treated independently.
If one insured violates a policy condition, coverage for the other insureds is not automatically voided.
This clause helps protect innocent insureds from being penalized for another’s actions and clarifies how
liability applies to each party.
,3. Property insurance policies usually contain a(n) ________ clause, stating the insured cannot dump
damaged property on the insurer and demand its full value:
A. Pro Rata
B. Abandonment
C. Liberalization
D. All of the above
ANS: B. Abandonment
Rationale: The Abandonment Clause prevents the insured from surrendering damaged property to the
insurer and demanding full payment. Instead, the insurer decides whether to repair, replace, or
compensate for the loss. This provision ensures fair claims management and prevents insureds from
walking away from recoverable property.
4. A(n) ________ is one wherein economic loss would be suffered from an adverse happening to the
subject:
A. Conditional Contract
B. Personal Contract
C. Economic Contract
D. Insurable Interest
ANS: D. Insurable Interest
Rationale: An insurable interest exists when a person would suffer a financial loss if the insured event
occurs. This requirement prevents insurance from being speculative or used for profit. It ensures the
, insured has a legitimate financial stake in the insured property or person, making the contract valid and
enforceable.
5. States that if the insurer adopts a revision which would broaden coverage without additional
premium within some period of time prior to the policy period or during the policy period, the insured
receives the benefit of such broadened coverage.
A. Cancellation Clause
B. Policy Period
C. Pro Rata
D. Liberalization
ANS: D. Liberalization
Rationale: The Liberalization Clause allows the insured to automatically benefit from broadened
coverage introduced by the insurer without paying extra. Typically, if the insurer expands policy benefits
within 60 days before or during the policy term, the insured receives those benefits. This ensures equal
and updated protection for all policyholders.
6. The ________ states that when there is an unbroken connection between an occurrence and
damage that grows out of the occurrence, then the resultant damage is all a part of the occurrence.
A. Doctrine of Proximate Cause
B. Doctrine of Perils & Hazards
C. Insurance Policy Handbook
D. Doctrine of Property Insurance
ANS: A. Doctrine of Proximate Cause
