Free Property & Casualty Insurance License MCQ Questions and Answers

Question 1

The homeowners policy type HO-5 covers all exposures on an all-risks basis. EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Tenant's personal vehicle

Answer

The HO-5 (Comprehensive Form) homeowners policy provides 'all-risks' coverage for the dwelling, other structures, and personal property, meaning it covers all perils except those specifically excluded. However, personal automobiles are typically covered by a separate auto insurance policy, not a homeowners policy, regardless of the form, as they represent a distinct type of risk.

Question 2

Is there a specific form or document that the insured must use to notify the insurance company of a claim?

Accepted Answer

No, a form, letter, or lawsuit could notify of a claim

Answer

While insurance companies often provide specific claim forms, an insured is generally not required to use a particular document to notify the insurer of a claim. Notification can be made through various means, including a phone call, a letter, or even the filing of a lawsuit, as long as it provides sufficient information about the loss.

Question 3

Different homeowner policies are covered in both broad and simple forms. Which type, broad or basic, offers the most loss protection?

Accepted Answer

Broad form

Answer

In homeowners insurance, 'broad form' policies (like HO-2) generally offer more comprehensive coverage than 'basic form' policies (like HO-1). Broad forms typically cover a wider range of named perils, providing greater protection against various types of losses compared to the more limited perils covered by basic forms.

Question 4

Rebecca was traveling to a job interview. She noticed that the light had just turned red and that she was running late. Rebecca didn't completely look to see whether there were any other cars nearby before continuing through the red light because she didn't want to lose time waiting at the stoplight. But as soon as the light turned green, an automobile entered the intersection, and it collided with Rebecca's. What qualifies Rebecca as the party at fault and justifies this?

Accepted Answer

Negligent

Answer

Rebecca is considered negligent because she failed to exercise the degree of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in the same situation. Running a red light without checking for other cars, especially when rushing, demonstrates a disregard for safety and traffic laws, directly leading to the accident and establishing her fault.

Question 5

In order to relocate for a work move, Mary made the decision to rent a townhouse. Mary should get what kind of homeowners insurance to cover her exposures as a tenant.

Accepted Answer

HO-4

Answer

The HO-4 (Contents Broad Form) homeowners policy is specifically designed for tenants or renters. It provides coverage for the insured's personal property against named perils and also includes liability coverage. However, it does not cover the dwelling structure itself, as that is the responsibility of the landlord.
