Average or Co-Insurance?
It’s Important to get the Sum insured correct
Some policies contain an Average clause. This means that if you insure for less than the full value of the property, your claim may be reduced in proportion to the amount of the under-insurance. These clauses are also called “Co-Insurance” clauses.
A simple example is as follows:
Full (Replacement) Value – $1,000,000
Sum Insured – $500,000
Therefore, you would be self-insured for 50% of the Full Value
Amount of Claim, say $ 100,000
Amount payable by Insurers as a result of the a of Average/Co-Insurance (i.e.: 50%) $50,000
