LIMITS

We offer coverage on an Actual Cash Value basis - not Replacement Cost. We suggest the limit requested be the Actual Cash Value of the Building (not lot/land) plus an additional sum for Debris Removal / Site Restoration in the event of a total loss.  We suggest the limit requested for Business Personal Property be based on the actual cash value of the property plus an additional sum for Debris Removal in the event of a total loss.  For properties under rehabilitation, we suggest a limit which includes the cost of the rehab to the property.

The maximum limit on the Building and Business Personal Property coverages combined is $500,000 (State of Wisconsin rule).

 

BASIC POLICY FORM, COVERAGES, AND LOSS SETTLEMENT PROVISION.

The Plan uses the Insurance Services Office Standard Property Policy Form - CP 00 99.  The producer may request copies of the policy forms and endorsements in use by the Plan.  We may add limiting endorsements to the policy.  Contact us with any questions.

Policy causes of loss (subject to the provisions of the policy):
bullet

Fire, lightning, and explosion, required.

bullet

Extended coverage perils (wind, hail, explosion, riot, aircraft, vehicles, smoke), if requested.

bullet

Vandalism or malicious mischief, if requested.

The policy provides no Business Liability or Medical Payments to Others coverages.  We do not offer these coverages in the Commercial Property Program.

Losses are primarily adjusted on an actual cash value basis (subject to the provisions of the policy).

The statements above provide only a general, brief description of the coverages provided.  Please review the policy for exact information on coverage, conditions, exclusions, and other policy provisions.

Encourage your customer to read the policy!

 

DEDUCTIBLES.

A $500 deductible is only available where the coverage limit requested is less than $150,000.  We require a minimum $1000 deductible when the coverage limit reaches $150,000 and a $2500 deductible when the coverage limit reaches $250,000.  Deductibles of $5,000, $10,000, and $25,000 are available.  We will require an higher deductible if the customer has an active claim history or if there are condition problems with the Building.  The producer may wish to suggest a higher deductible to customers as increased deductibles lower premiums.

 

 

CO-INSURANCE.

Our policies have a co-insurance provision.  If you are unaware of what the co-insurance provision is or how it operates, we suggest you refer your client to a producer who does know.  Don't call and ask us to explain co-insurance to you.

 

 

COMMERCIAL CRIME PROGRAM.

The Wisconsin Insurance Plan offers a Commercial Crime Program separate from the Commercial Property Program.  The Crime Program has its own application.  We must inspect the property before considering providing coverage.  Therefore, we suggest application be made at least 60 days before coverage is needed.  Applications for this program are not on this website.  Please contact the Plan for an application( e-mail thewip@execpc.com).

Limit:  Maximum of $15,000 combined for all coverages selected.

Coverages offered (subject to the provisions of the policy):

bullet

Inside the Premises - Robbery of a Watchperson or Burglary of Other Property.

bullet

Inside the Premises - Robbery of a Custodian or Safe Burglary of Money and Securities.
