A.Insurable Interest

B.Contribution

A.To investigate claims independently and recommend fair settlements based on policy terms

B.To sell insurance policies to prospective clients on behalf of insurers

C.To always deny claims in order to maximize profits for the insurance company

D.To underwrite risks and determine the premium rates for new policies

Explanation: Loss adjusters are independent professionals appointed by insurance companies to investigate complex or contentious claims, ascertain the cause of loss, check policy coverage, and recommend an appropriate settlement amount.

4When an insured deliberately conceals material facts when applying for a policy, which fundamental principle is violated?

A.Utmost Good Faith

B.Indemnity

C.Subrogation

D.Contribution

Explanation: Utmost Good Faith (Uberrimae Fidei) requires full disclosure of all material facts. Concealment violates this principle and can render the policy voidable.

A.Depreciation, wear and tear, and mechanical breakdown

B.Damage to the insured vehicle caused by accidental collision

C.Liability for third-party bodily injury and death

D.Theft of the insured vehicle

Explanation: Standard motor policies exclude loss or damage caused by depreciation, wear and tear, mechanical or electrical breakdowns, failures, or breakages.

6What does a 'Betterment' charge refer to in motor insurance adjusting?

A.A charge to the insured when an old part is replaced with a brand new part, placing the vehicle in a better condition than before the accident

B.A bonus paid by the insurer to a workshop for completing repairs ahead of schedule

C.A discount given to the insured for maintaining a claim-free record

D.An extra premium charged for insuring high-performance vehicles

Explanation: Betterment occurs when replacing an old, worn part with a new one increases the vehicle's overall value compared to its pre-accident condition. The insured is usually required to contribute to the cost of the new part based on a standard betterment scale in Malaysia.

7Which of the following is a vital document a loss adjuster must obtain when investigating a motor theft claim?

A.The original Police Report lodged by the insured

B.A detailed medical report of the driver

C.The service manual of the stolen vehicle

D.The original sales brochure of the car from the manufacturer

Explanation: A Police Report is absolutely critical for a theft claim to formally document the incident with law enforcement and to initiate the claim investigation.

8What is 'Knock-for-Knock' agreement in the context of Malaysian motor insurance?

A.An agreement among insurers where each pays for damage to its own policyholder's vehicle, regardless of who was at fault, provided both have comprehensive cover

B.An agreement where the at-fault driver pays the other driver in cash at the scene of the accident

C.An agreement between a repair workshop and an insurer to provide discounted repair rates

D.An agreement where two uninsured drivers agree to settle damages privately

Explanation: A Knock-for-Knock (KFK) agreement is an arrangement between insurance companies to pay for the repairs of their own insured's vehicle, provided both parties hold comprehensive policies, thereby saving time and legal costs in establishing blame.

9In property insurance, the principle of 'Average' is applied when:

A.The property is under-insured at the time of loss

B.The insured has multiple policies covering the same property

C.The loss is caused by multiple perils simultaneously

D.The property is over-insured at the time of loss

Explanation: The condition of average is invoked when a property is under-insured. It means the insured is considered to be their own insurer for the uninsured proportion, and the claim payout is reduced proportionately.

10An insured's factory, valued at RM 1,000,000, is insured for RM 600,000. A fire causes RM 200,000 in damages. Assuming the policy contains a standard pro-rata average clause, how much will the insurer pay?

A.RM 120,000

B.RM 200,000

C.RM 600,000

D.RM 60,000

Explanation: Applying the formula for average: (Sum Insured / Actual Value) x Loss = (600,000 / 1,000,000) x 200,000 = 0.6 x 200,000 = RM 120,000.
