- A.

- D.
Deliniation
Correct Answer
A. ConcealmentExplanation
Concealment refers to the act of intentionally withholding important information or material facts related to a contract, which the insurer relies on. This can be seen as a form of deception or misrepresentation, as it prevents the insurer from making an informed decision. By concealing such facts, the insured party may be trying to obtain more favorable terms or coverage. In insurance contracts, concealment can lead to the avoidance or cancellation of the policy, as it undermines the principle of utmost good faith that should govern the relationship between the parties involved.Rate this question:

- D.
$20,000 for Bill's bodily injury.
Correct Answer
D. $20,000 for Bill's bodily injury.Explanation
The term uninsured motor vehicle also includes a motor vehicle insured under a policy in which the liability limits are not high enough to pay the amount of damages claimed.
A person may obtain uninsured motorist coverage in an amount equal to $25,000 per person/$50,000 per occurrence, up to her bodily injury liability coverage limit.
Ann had minimum state liability coverage, 25/50/25, which covers up to $25,000 for body injury for one person, as well as up to $25,000 for property damage. Her insurance company would pay $25,000 for Bill's medical bills, as well as $9,500 for damages to Bills car. Ann's coverage is $20,000 short from covering Bill's total medical bills.
Bill's insurance includes uninsured motorist coverage, which would cover the remaining $20,000.
Could Ann be sued by Bill's Insurer for $20,000? Subrogation...Rate this question:
