Adjuster Pro Exam Prep Questions With
Correct Answers


Common law is based upon - answer✔court decisions and customs.

cause of loss or damage - answer✔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? - answer✔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.
