Orlando's house was fully insured when it was completely destroyed by a tornado. All that's left
is a huge pile of debris and a $167,000 mortgage balance. Orlando files a claim against his DP-3
with a $220,000 limit. Normally, the cost of debris removal is subject to the policy limit, but
Orlando's total costs exceed his limit. Once all cleanup and repairs are completed, what is the
maximum indemnification the insurer could end up paying for the dwelling and debris removal?
- ✔✔Debris Removal coverage can pay up to an additional 5% of the coverage limit, when
needed. Since Orlando's Coverage A losses exceeded his policy limit, his policy can pay up to
$11,000 (since this is 5% of $220,000) over and above that limit for the cost of removing the
debris of Coverage A property.
