Commercial PropertyQuestion 101 of 215
An insured selects the Agreed Value optional coverage on a commercial property policy. What is the primary effect of this option?
a.It increases the policy limit by 25% automatically
b.It removes all deductibles for the policy term
c.It changes the policy from named perils to open perils
d.It suspends the coinsurance condition for the policy term
Explanation
The Agreed Value option suspends the coinsurance clause for the policy term. The insured and insurer agree on a value (typically through a signed statement of values), and as long as the limit equals or exceeds that agreed value, no coinsurance penalty applies at the time of loss. It does not change the perils insured or eliminate deductibles.
