Personal Auto PolicyQuestion 376 of 474
A driver with 100/300/50 limits is at fault. One person's injuries are valued at $150,000, a second person's at $80,000, and a car is damaged to the extent of $12,000. Part A pays:
a.$112,000, one person and the car
b.$192,000, the injuries and car
c.$180,000, the injuries only
d.$242,000, the claims and the car
Explanation
The per-person cap trims the $150,000 claim to $100,000, while the second person is paid $80,000 in full; $100,000 + $80,000 = $180,000, which fits inside the $300,000 per-accident limit. Property damage draws on its own $50,000 limit, so the $12,000 car is paid entirely, and $180,000 + $12,000 = $192,000. The $242,000 figure comes from ignoring the per-person cap altogether.
