Question

Lauren purchased a personal umbrella policy with a $1 million limit and a $1,000 self-insured retention. Her insurer required her to carry a $300,000 liability limit under her homeowners policy. Tina was held responsible for slandering a public official. The public official won a $100,000 judgment against Tina. The insurer that wrote Tina's homeowners policy denied coverage. How much will the insurer pay under Tina's personal umbrella policy

Answer 1

$99,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of $100,000 will be split between both Tina and the insurer in which the amount of $1,000 will be cover by Tina based on her self-insured retention policy while the insurer on the other hand will cover the remaining amount of $99,000 calculated as ($100,000-$1,000).

Therefore the amount that the insurer will pay under Tina's personal umbrella policy will be $99,000
