10.1 Dwelling Premium
|
|
464
|
+
|
|
465
|
+
1. Dwelling base units:
|
|
466
|
+
Coverage A / $1,000 = $400,000 / $1,000 = 400 units.
|
|
467
|
+
|
|
468
|
+
2. Base dwelling premium (unmodified):
|
|
469
|
+
Units × base rate = 400 × $0.50 = $200.00.
|
|
470
|
+
|
|
471
|
+
3. Apply multiplicative rating factors:
|
|
472
|
+
Combined factor = TF × CF × PF × OF × DF × CHF × CSF
|
|
473
|
+
= 1.10 × 0.90 × 0.85 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 0.95 × 1.00.
|
|
474
|
+
|
|
475
|
+
Stepwise:
|
|
476
|
+
- 1.10 × 0.90 = 0.99
|
|
477
|
+
- 0.99 × 0.85 = 0.8415
|
|
478
|
+
- 0.8415 × 1.00 = 0.8415
|
|
479
|
+
- 0.8415 × 1.00 = 0.8415
|
|
480
|
+
- 0.8415 × 0.95 ≈ 0.7994
|
|
481
|
+
- 0.7994 × 1.00 = 0.7994
|
|
482
|
+
|
|
483
|
+
Combined factor ≈ 0.7994.
|
|
484
|
+
|
|
485
|
+
4. Modified dwelling premium:
|
|
486
|
+
$200.00 × 0.7994 ≈ $159.88.
|
|
487
|
+
|
|
488
|
+
10.2 Other Property Premium Components
|
|
489
|
+
|
|
490
|
+
Assume Coverage B and Coverage C premiums are derived as percentages of the modified dwelling premium:
|
|
491
|
+
|
|
492
|
+
- Coverage B (Other Structures) premium:
|
|
493
|
+
10% of dwelling premium = 0.10 × $159.88 ≈ $15.99.
|
|
494
|
+
|
|
495
|
+
- Coverage C (Personal Property) premium:
|
|
496
|
+
40% of dwelling premium = 0.40 × $159.88 ≈ $63.95.
|
|
497
|
+
|
|
498
|
+
- Coverage D (Loss of Use) premium:
|
|
499
|
+
20% of dwelling premium = 0.20 × $159.88 ≈ $31.98.
|
|
500
|
+
|
|
501
|
+
Total property coverage (A, B, C, D) premium before endorsements:
|
|
502
|
+
$159.88 + $15.99 + $63.95 + $31.98 = $271.80 (rounded).
|
|
503
|
+
|
|
504
|
+
10.3 Liability and Endorsements
|
|

|
510
|
+
- Service Line endorsement: $40.00.
|
|
511
|
+
|
|
512
|
+
Subtotal for liability and endorsements:
|
|
513
|
+
$110 + $30 + $90 + $50 + $40 = $320.00.
|
|
514
|
+
|
|
515
|
+
10.4 Total Premium Before Discounts
|
|
516
|
+
|
|
517
|
+
Total pre-discount premium:
|
|
518
|
+
Property + Liability/Endorsements = $271.80 + $320.00 = $591.80.
|

|
538
|

11.1 Notice of Loss
|
|

|
|
540
|
+
|
|
541
|
+
11.2 Duties After Loss
|
|

|
|
543
|
+
- Protect property from further damage.
|
|
544
|
+
- Make a list of damaged items with description, age, and estimated value.

|
545
|
+
- Provide access for inspection and cooperate with the adjuster.
|
|
546
|
+
- Provide requested documents (proof of ownership, repair estimates, receipts, and other supporting materials).
|
|
547
|
+
|
|
548
|
+
11.3 Loss Payment
|
|
549
|
+
HVPI will pay covered losses within the timeframe required by applicable law and policy terms once:
|
|
550
|
+
- Agreement is reached on the amount of loss; or
|
|
551
|
+
- A final judgment is entered; or
|
|
552
|
+
- An appraisal award is issued (if the appraisal clause is invoked).
|
|
553
|
+
|
|
554
|
+
11.4 Other Insurance
|
|
555
|
+
If other valid and collectible insurance applies to the same loss, HVPI pays no more than its share of the loss according to the policy’s other insurance condition.
