Exam DISC-RM Practice Question 204

Study guide: Exam DISC-RM

An insurer's guideline for small office buildings says:

  • acceptable: protection class 1 to 6, sprinklered or under 20,000 square feet;
  • acceptable only with a $10,000 deductible: one property loss in the past three years;
  • decline: two or more losses in the past three years.

A line underwriter's authority covers acceptable risks up to $5,000,000 of insured value. A submission is a 15,000 square foot unsprinklered office in protection class 4, insured value $3,000,000, with one water damage loss two years ago. What should the underwriter do?

  • A) Offer coverage with the $10,000 deductible
  • B) Decline it, because the building has no sprinklers
  • C) Refer it to a senior underwriter, because it has had a loss
  • D) Accept it as submitted, because the loss was only water damage
