of loss) that is known or estimated

• Ranges from 0 to 1 (0% to 100%)

0- impossible
0.5 - Highest Risk
1 - Certain Event

- Negative outcomes - -Loss

Must be quantifiable in $$$

- Frequency - -How often does a loss occur?
• The number of losses (such as fire, theft, collision) that occur within a
specified time period.• Probability of a loss.

,• Ex: Probability of a fire is 0.0071 per loss exposure per year.

- severity - -• How much does it cost when a loss does occur?

four types - Physical, moral, morale(attitude), legal

- 1. Physical Hazard - -A physical condition that increases the frequency
and/or severity of a loss.

is a hazard that arises from the condition, occupancy, or use of the property
itself.

An example of a physical hazard is a skateboard left on the porch steps.

Dishonesty or character defects in an individual that increase the frequency
and/or severity of a loss.

• Exaggerating the value of insured property

- 3. Morale (Attitudinal) Hazard - -Carelessness or indifference to a loss,
which increases the frequency and/or severity of a loss.
Examples:

environment that increase the frequency and/or severity of a loss.
Examples:

(meaning larger damage awards in liability lawsuits).
• Georgia now requires Diminution in Value to be paid on property losses
(meaning increased severity in Georgia).

be hard to insure

- Can you buy insurance for speculative risks? - -generally no

- Diversifiable Risk - -• Affects only individuals or small groups, not entire

vehicle collision).

- Nondiversifiable Risk - -• Affects the entire economy or large numbers of
groups/persons within the economy.
