Study Notes
Insurance Claim Procedures
- When a client declares items worth $10,000, the payout will be the lesser amount, even if the actual cash value at the time of loss is $15,000.
- A 100% co-insurance clause applies if conditions are not met regarding fire insurance policies.
Tenant Improvements and Obligations
- If a tenant's lease ends shortly after a loss, the property owner may opt not to restore previous improvements, allowing the next tenant to customize as needed.
- Breach of warranty occurs if necessary conditions, like a monitored alarm, are neglected, leading to theft.
Insurers’ Disclosure Requirements
- Insured parties must reveal all relevant facts and prior claims; failure to disclose claims (e.g., a $10,000 theft) can lead to policy cancellation.
- Brokers utilize submitted information for risk assessment, including applications, photos, and other required documents.
Understanding the Insurance Market
- The current state of the insurance market can be categorized as soft or hard, reflecting trends in premium rates and coverage availability.
- Brokers may require additional questionnaires for high-risk areas, such as retail establishments near nightclubs or industrial facilities.
Fire and Extended Coverage Policy Essentials
- Understanding which perils are covered and their exclusions is crucial across all commercial policies.
- Equipment Breakdown Insurance can complement existing policies for enhanced coverage.
Commercial Insurance Key Points

- Familiarity with standard exclusions within broad form policies helps brokers navigate coverage effectively.
Financial Considerations and Reporting

Extensions of Coverage
- Most commercial property policies include extensions that limit the insurer's liability.
- Employers may be reimbursed for limited damages (e.g., cell phones) under coverage extensions based on specific scenarios like sprinkler system failures.
Specialized Coverage Considerations
- Specialized forms differ by insurer; brokers need an understanding of varying guidelines and exclusion differences.
- Additional coverage for risks like earthquakes includes provisions for landslides or other movements happening concurrently with seismic activity.
Recent Trends in Coverage
- Increased demand for specific coverage, such as earthquake protection, illustrates the evolving nature of insurance policies in response to recent events.
