Common law is based upon
court decisions and customs.
cause of loss or damage
peril
Jim owns a home valued at $187,500, but he only has a $100,000 homeowner's
policy and is underinsured. During a storm, lightning strikes Jim's home causing
$45,000 in damages. The insurer decides to invoke a coinsurance penalty. How
much will Jim be required to pay for the penalty?
The coinsurance requirement of 80% means that Jim should have maintained a
minimum policy of $150,000 in coverage. Instead, Jim maintained a $100,000 policy,
under-insuring himself by a third. When the insurer invokes the coinsurance penalty,
Jim is then responsible for a third of the damages, which in this case totaled $45,000.
So, Jim must pay $15,000.
