Sample questions & answers
1. When apportioning damages in a Kentucky negligence claim, the state applies:
Pure comparative negligence
KRS 411.182 requires the trier of fact to assign each party a percentage of fault and apportion damages accordingly; a partly at-fault claimant is not barred from recovery (pure comparative fault).
2. A loss of business income that follows a covered fire is an example of a(n):
Indirect (consequential) loss
An indirect or consequential loss, such as lost income, results from a direct loss like a fire but is itself a separate type of loss.
3. A coverage form that insures only against perils specifically listed in the policy is a:
Named-peril form
A named-peril form covers only the causes of loss specifically listed, placing the burden on the insured to show the peril is covered.
4. An occurrence-based liability policy covers injury or damage that takes place:
During the policy period, regardless of when the claim is later made
An occurrence policy responds to covered events that occur during the policy period even if the claim is reported later.
