Waiver of coinsurance clauses

A waiver of coinsurance clause can modify a specified coinsurance or underinsurance condition when its contractual requirements are met.

A waiver of coinsurance clause can modify a specified coinsurance or underinsurance condition when its contractual requirements are met.

The distinction that matters

It does not necessarily remove all valuation requirements or every reduction in a claim settlement.

What to check

  • Read the precise condition being waived.
  • Check valuation and reporting requirements.
  • Review remaining limits and excesses.

Example to discuss

A property owner checks whether a waiver requires an agreed valuation and whether that valuation is still current.

This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
