✔✔Bill's home was destroyed by a tornado, and Nick is adjusting the claim. Bill's home

deductible. How much would Nick typically calculate the final settlement amount to be? -

loss that exceeds the limit.

front yard and causes a large portion of the tree to fall on Terry's side of the duplex.

only cover the TV and entertainment system.

accepted? - ✔✔Civil Authority coverage will pay the insured's Additional Living
Expenses for up to two weeks if the insured had to leave the home because of an order
by civil authority. Kimberly's policy will pay her for two of the three weeks that she was

✔✔Orlando's house was fully insured when it was completely destroyed by a tornado.
All that's left is a huge pile of debris and a $167,000 mortgage balance. Orlando files a
claim against his DP-3 with a $220,000 limit. Normally, the cost of debris removal is
subject to the policy limit, but Orlando's total costs exceed his limit. Once all cleanup
and repairs are completed, what is the maximum indemnification the insurer could end
up paying for the dwelling and debris removal? - ✔✔Debris Removal coverage can pay
up to an additional 5% of the coverage limit, when needed. Since Orlando's Coverage A
losses exceeded his policy limit, his policy can pay up to $11,000 (since this is 5% of
$220,000) over and above that limit for the cost of removing the debris of Coverage A
property.
