Reducing your expenses by finding companies willing to offer a lower rate is a sensible and logical decision, however reducing your coverage to save money may not be such a good idea as is illustrated in our final post involving BestBuy Motels.

New Orleans Motel Insurance— Claims Scenario Number 1 Part 5.

In a previous article we learned the unfortunate results of making a mistake on commercial insurance.

BestBuy Motels owner Emeric Babin’s operation manager Nick Spencer switched BestBuy Motels’ commercial insurance to a new company that included a 90% coinsurance provision for a 30% premium savings.

That 90% coinsurance provision resulted in BestBuy Motels being responsible for paying $1,234,000 out-of-pocket when one of their premier hotels was severely damaged in a fire.

Their previous policy did not have a coinsurance provision, but the new policy did include coinsurance requiring them to insure their hotel to 90% of the replacement cost of the building.

Unfortunately they fell short of that amount and were required to pay $1.2 million out-of-pocket as a penalty.

If you own health insurance you may be familiar with the term coinsurance. A coinsurance on health insurance is not considered a penalty. It is merely the amount of money you share in medical expenses.

However, a coinsurance on a Business Insurance Policy is a penalty, not an intended cost share provision as is true of health insurance.

Why do insurance companies in some cases require coinsurance? We will consider that question right now.

Motel Insurance New Orleans — Why Do Companies Sometime Require Coinsurance?

First of all, let’s address the question of why companies in some cases require a coinsurance (not all companies require coinsurance, by the way).

It is simply to ensure policyholders are purchasing sufficient insurance coverage.

For example, Ben Frank owns a strip mall that he bought through bankruptcy court from a distressed seller for 25 cents on the dollar.

He paid $250,000 for a building worth $1 million. Because Ben is overly cautious with his money, i.e. he is a tightwad. Ben decides that he should purchase sufficient coverage to cover his investment in the property of $250,000, but he wants replacement cost coverage for any minor claims or losses.

Ben cannot find an insurance company willing to insure his strip mall for $250,000 unless he agrees to purchase actual cash value coverage on a basic coverage form.

Replacement cost coverage is normally only available to policyholders that properly insure their buildings. A coinsurance provision protects the insurance company from overpaying on claims and under collecting premiums.

It’s very important to make sure that you do not violate your insurance company’s coinsurance provision. Otherwise you may find yourself in a very precarious financial situation as was true of BestBuy Motels.

Motel Insurance Louisiana — Why It’s Important to Check Your Coverage.

Saving money is a great idea on Louisiana Motel Insurance, but if you save money by reducing your coverage that may not be such a good idea.

Why?

Because you may lose valuable insurance protection that may only be discovered after a claim occurs.

Unfortunately insurance companies do not allow you to add coverage after the claim has already occurred so what you have on your policy right now will be the exact coverage available after a claim occurs.

Let’s review a fictitious claims scenario to learn how this affected one motel owner.

Motel Insurance Louisiana — Claims Scenario Number One

Emeric Babin owns BestBuy Motels which is a chain of 30 non-franchised business hotels throughout the state.
As a successful business owner Emeric has always been very concerned about keeping expenses in line so from time to time he has his operations manager Nick Spencer contact insurance companies seeking bids on their commercial insurance for their chain of hotels.

Nick speaks to Johnny Blanchard of the Johnny-Come Lately Agency in Baton Rouge who is very interested in giving a bid on BestBuy Motels.

Nick forwards a copy of his declaration pages to Johnny and he promises to work on this as soon as possible, making it his top priority.

Nick mentions to Johnny that he should carefully match all the coverage limits on their existing policy, and Johnny promises that he would do just that.

Johnny begins to work his way through the process and within three days he has completed all the paperwork and it is ready to be sent to the insurance companies selling motel insurance for them to provide quotes.

Johnny is very excited to be given an opportunity to bid on such a large account, since Johnny is in his second year of business, this would make his entire year if he was able to sell this account.

Johnny has never quoted a Louisiana Motel Insurance policy in his life, despite his assurances to Nick he was up to the task.

Johnny’s a very good salesperson and was the number 1 used car salesman for 5 years running prior to getting into the insurance business and he was able to convince Nick that he could indeed provide favorable quotes on Louisiana Motel Insurance.

Johnny diligently follows up with Nick to advise him of any updates and to ask additional underwriting questions that companies are requesting.

Seven days later Johnny receives the last quote, he reviews them all based on the premium charges and he emails the company with the lowest price to Nick for him to review.

Johnny has no idea what BestBuy Motels is paying right now on their insurance but he’s hoping the rate comes in low enough to earn the sale.

In our next article we will learn how Johnny makes the sale of his lifetime, but trouble soon comes to both Johnny and BestBuy Motels when their largest hotel catches on fire causing significant damage to the building and one important coverage provision was not added to their policy.
