1. Legislation in a number of states requiring insurers to pay the face amount of a fire insurance policy in case of total loss to a dwelling (or sometimes another specified type of building), rather than the actual cash value of the loss. Such laws in effect override the principle of Indemnity that normally governs property and liability insurance contracts. These laws were put into place to protect the consumer because many companies were insuring properties based on market values or mortgage values, when they were so inflated and were way over insuring homes. If you had a total loss at that time they would pay out the ACV, so to fix this they instituted these laws to protect consumers and to hold the insurance companies accountable for the amount of insurance that they place on a home. Each state will be different in what and how it is applied meaning it may not include earthquake or flood losses, or it may only apply to loss by fire or only on mobile homes ect…
