An insured has her dwelling covered by an HO-3 form, with a $500,000 limit of liability for Coverage A. A fire breaks out and the dwelling is a total loss. The entire $500,000 limit is used to cover the direct physical damage to the dwelling. However, there is a large amount of debris from the burned structure covering the insured's property that will need to be removed. In this situation, how will the cost of the debris removal be paid? Answer Choices: 5% of the Coverage A limit is set aside to cover debris removal. This means that the insured must pay $25,000 out-of-pocket to cover the direct physical damage to the dwelling itself. When the entire Coverage A limit is used to cover the direct physical damage to the dwelling, an additional 5% of the Coverage A limit will be added to cover debris removal. The policy will only pay its Coverage A limit and the insured must pay for the debris removal out-of-pocket. An unlimited additional amount of insurance is covered on all of the Homeowners forms for debris removal because the insured cannot begin to rebuild until the debris is removed.
When the entire Coverage A limit is used to cover the direct physical damage to the dwelling, an additional 5% of the Coverage A limit will be added to cover debris removal.
