Planning an Insurance Program Set insurance goals to reduce possible loss of: Income due to premature death, illness, accident or unemployment Property caused by perils Income, savings and property due to personal negligence Develop a plan to reach your goals What do you need to insure? How much should you insure it for? What kind of insurance should you buy? Who should you buy insurance from? Put your plan into action Check your results Insurance needs and goals change 8-5

Property and Liability Insurance Potential property losses Home, automobiles, furniture, clothing, personal belongings Risk #1: Physical damage caused by perils (e.g., fire) Risk #2: Loss or damage caused by criminal behavior Liability = legal responsibility for the financial cost of another person’s losses or injury (if you are held legally liable) Liability due to negligence Failure to take ordinary and reasonable care Vicarious Liability You are held responsible for the actions of another person, such as your child throwing a ball through a neighbor’s window 8-6

Homeowner’s Insurance Coverage Objective 2 Assess the Insurance Coverage and Policy Types Available to Homeowners and Renters Homeowner’s Insurance Coverage Damage or destruction of the building in which you live, and other structures on the property Garage, tool shed, trees, and shrubs Additional Living Expenses May be limited to 20-30% of property value May be limited to 6-9 months 8-7

Renter’s Insurance Broad Form Comprehensive Form Covers personal property loss or damage specified in the policy Comprehensive Form Protects property against all perils not excluded Renter’s insurance is relatively inexpensive Replacement value coverage more costly Covers property only in your home Usually includes liability coverage Many renters do not have insurance 8-10

Home Insurance Policy Forms Basic Form (HO-1) Protects against perils such as fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, smoke, theft, vandalism and riots (specific named perils) Broad Form (HO-2) Wider coverage including falling objects and damage from ice, snow or sleet (more specific named perils) Special Form (HO-3) Basic + Broad form + all other risks unless specifically excluded (commonly earthquake, flood, nuclear accidents, business usage) Tenant’s Form (HO-4) Covers personal property against listed risks Comprehensive Form (HO-5) Expands HO-3 coverage to replacement cost; increasingly rare! Condominium Owner (HO-6) Covers personal property and building additions 8-11

Objective 3 Analyze the Factors that Influence the Amount of Coverage and Cost of Home Insurance Determine amount of coverage needed: Replacement value of home ? Value of home’s contents ? Protection for specific items ? (Jewelry, furs, art) Liability coverage ? Consider “loss frequency” (likely # of times for loss) and “loss severity” (potential magnitude of a loss) Principle of Indemnity- insurance will pay no more than actual financial losses suffered Policy Limits- specify the maximum dollar amounts that will be paid under a policy 8-12

Policy Provisions Look for a policy with full coverage (100% value) Coinsurance clause requires you to pay a part of a loss. Claim settlement methods: Actual Cash Value (ACV) Replacement cost less depreciation Replacement Cost Full cost to repair or replace the damaged or lost item 10-20% > actual cash value coverage 8-13
