Q1Property Provisions & Contract Lawmedium

After an insurer denies a property claim, the insured sues for breach of contract AND simultaneously demands appraisal under the policy. Under the modern view reflected in Restatement (Second) Contracts §378, the election-of-remedies doctrine:

ABars the insured from pursuing both remedies and forces an immediate, irrevocable choice at filing
BPermits pursuit of inconsistent remedies until satisfaction is obtained, requiring election only when remedies are truly inconsistent and the other party has detrimentally relied
CRequires the insurer to choose which remedy the insured may pursue
DEliminates all remedies because the insured filed inconsistent claims
Why

§378 permits pursuit of inconsistent remedies until satisfaction; election only required where remedies are truly inconsistent and reliance occurred.

Q2FL General Linesmedium

Under Florida's Financial Responsibility Law, which coverages are mandatory for ALL registered private passenger vehicles in Florida?

APIP ($10,000) and PDL ($10,000) only — BI liability is NOT required for most drivers
BPIP ($10,000), PDL ($10,000), and BI ($10,000/$20,000) for all drivers
CBI ($25,000/$50,000) and PDL ($10,000) — PIP is optional in Florida
DPIP ($25,000) and BI ($10,000/$20,000) — PDL is optional
Why

Florida requires only PIP ($10K) and PDL ($10K); bodily injury liability is not mandatory for most drivers.

Q3FL Workers Comphard

A forklift operator is seriously injured when his supervisor deliberately disables the safety interlock, knowing injury is substantially certain to result. Can the employee sue the employer in civil court despite Florida's WC Exclusive Remedy doctrine?

ANo — WC exclusive remedy (§440.11) bars all civil suits against employers for any workplace injury without exception
BYes — the intentional tort exception allows a civil suit when the employer commits an act with knowledge that injury is substantially certain to follow
CYes — any injury caused by a supervisor (rather than the employer directly) falls outside WC exclusive remedy
DNo — the employee must exhaust all WC administrative appeals before filing in civil court, which precludes tort recovery
Why

The §440.11 intentional tort exception allows civil suit when the employer acts with knowledge that injury is substantially certain to result.

Q4Casualty Provisionsmedium

A retail clothing brand publishes an ad campaign that uses a competitor's distinctive trade dress without permission. The competitor sues for trade-dress infringement. Which CGL coverage part responds, assuming no exclusion applies?

ACoverage A, because trade-dress infringement causes economic property damage
BCoverage B, because copyright/trade-dress/slogan infringement in the insured's advertisement is an enumerated offense
CCoverage C, because medical payments include reputational harm
DNo CGL coverage; intellectual property is uniformly excluded
Why

Coverage B responds because trade-dress, copyright, or slogan infringement in the insured's advertisement is an enumerated offense.

Q5Property Policiesmedium

A homeowner with a valuable collection of electronics wants coverage for any accidental loss to personal property, not just listed perils. Which single policy form would best accomplish this without a separate floater?

AHO-2, because it covers 16 broad named perils
BHO-3, because the dwelling section is open-peril
CHO-5, because it provides open-peril coverage on both dwelling and personal property
DHO-8, because it uses market value and applies to all property types
Why

HO-5 is the only standard form offering open-peril coverage on personal property without a separate floater.
