  2. Title defect protection
  3. Coverage for liability to third parties
  4. Benefits of endowment and annuities, and may include death or dismemberment by accident and disability income ✓

  2. $240,000 ✓
  3. $144,000

Section I of a Businessowners Policy provides:

  1. Liability coverage
  2. Auto coverage
  3. Common conditions
  4. Property coverage ✓

Why: Section I of the BOP addresses property coverage (building and business personal property), while Section II addresses liability.

Part Two (Employers Liability) of the policy is primarily designed to cover which of the following?

  1. Statutory benefits owed directly under the WC law
  2. Fines and penalties assessed by the state
  3. Suits brought against the employer for work injuries that fall outside the WC statute ✓
  4. Damage to the employer's business property

Why: Part Two covers the employer's liability for damages because of bodily injury by accident or disease arising out of employment that is not compensable as statutory benefits under Part One, such as certain lawsuits.

A warehouse roof collapses under the weight of accumulated snow. The insured has only the Basic Causes of Loss form. Is the collapse from snow weight covered?

  1. No, weight of snow/ice is added by the Broad and Special forms, not Basic ✓
  2. Only if theft is involved
  3. Yes, weight of snow is a Basic peril
  4. Yes, all collapse is Basic

Why: Weight of snow, ice, or sleet is added in the Broad and Special forms; the Basic form does not include it, so the loss would not be covered.

Under ORC §3937.31, does renewing a policy waive the insurer's right to cancel for grounds that existed before the renewal?

  1. Only for nonpayment grounds
  2. No; renewal does not constitute a waiver or estoppel with respect to grounds for cancellation existing before the renewal's effective date ✓
  3. Yes; renewal always waives prior grounds
  4. Only if the insured disclosed the grounds

Why: §3937.31(D) provides that renewal of a policy does not constitute a waiver or estoppel with respect to grounds for cancellation that existed before the effective date of the renewal.

  2. Slander and libel
  3. Auto theft
  4. All fire losses

Why: The pollution exclusion removes coverage for injury/damage from the release of pollutants, subject to limited exceptions.

Unlike Part One, Part Two (Employers Liability) of the policy does include limits of liability. The three Part Two limits typically apply to:

  1. Medical, indemnity, and death benefits
  2. Temporary, permanent, and survivor benefits
  3. Per claim, per occurrence, and aggregate medical
  4. Bodily injury by accident, bodily injury by disease per employee, and bodily injury by disease policy limit ✓

Why: Part Two shows three limits: bodily injury by accident (each accident), bodily injury by disease (policy limit), and bodily injury by disease (each employee).

  1. Restricted to fire only
  2. Broad, often worldwide, and usually written without a deductible for the listed items ✓

Why: Floaters offer broad, frequently worldwide, all-risk coverage for scheduled valuables and commonly apply no deductible.

  1. Two hundred fifty thousand dollars
  2. Ten thousand dollars
  3. One hundred thousand dollars
  4. Thirty-five thousand dollars ✓

Why: Section 3901.22(F)(1) caps the aggregate penalty at thirty-five thousand dollars in any six-month period; a series of similar acts not in separate sales transactions counts as a single violation.

  1. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners

  1. Schedule jewelry
  2. Extend limited liability for certain larger boats otherwise excluded ✓
  3. Insure large yachts fully
  4. Cover flood damage to the home

Why: The watercraft endorsement extends Section II liability for boats that exceed the size/horsepower thresholds otherwise excluded by the base policy.

The Homeowners Policy program differs from the Dwelling Policy primarily because it:

  1. Cannot insure personal property
  2. Is a package combining property AND liability coverage ✓
  3. Covers only the structure
  4. Never includes theft

Why: Homeowners policies are package policies bundling Section I property coverages with Section II liability coverages, whereas the basic Dwelling Policy is monoline property.

  1. Guarantees the workmanship and materials of completed construction for a stated period ✓
  2. Covers employee dishonesty
  3. Guarantees payment to suppliers
  4. Guarantees the contractor's bid price

Why: A clerical error administering benefits is an EBL claim, not a CGL or WC matter.

  1. Covered under Part D physical damage as part of the auto ✓
  2. Covered only under Part B
  3. Never covered
  4. Excluded under Part D

Why: Factory or permanently installed original equipment is part of the covered auto under Part D; the limitation targets certain aftermarket/added electronic equipment.

If two PAP policies issued by the same insurer apply to the same loss, Part F provides that:

  1. Both pay in full
  2. Coverage is voided
  3. The insurer's maximum liability shall not exceed the highest applicable limit under any one policy ✓

Why: The "Two or More Auto Policies" provision limits recovery so the insurer pays no more than the highest limit under any one of its policies.

  1. Sixty days
  2. Thirty days
  3. Ten days

  1. Based on each member's investment income
  2. In proportion to each member's net direct written premiums for the preceding calendar year on the kinds of insurance in that account ✓
  3. In proportion to the number of Ohio agents each member appoints

  2. Permitted because the bank may choose the insurer
  3. Permitted only for flood insurance
  4. Prohibited — a person may not require, as a condition precedent to lending, that the borrower negotiate a policy through a particular insurer or agent ✓

  3. 72% of the employee's full weekly wage ✓
  4. 100% of net take-home pay indefinitely
