Published 6 days, 6 hours ago
Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- Proximate cause is the initial event in an unbroken chain that leads to a loss.
- Damage from subsequent events is typically covered if the proximate cause was a covered peril.
- Concurrent causation involves both a covered and an excluded peril contributing to a single loss.
- Anti-concurrent causation clauses are used by insurers to exclude losses even when a covered peril was involved.
- The windstorm-then-flood scenario is a classic exam trap testing your knowledge of these causation rules and exclusions.
