How much does Sam spend in hotel expenses while evacuated from his home due to flood waters?

  1. $1,500

  2. $2,500

  3. $3,000

  4. $5,000

The correct answer is: $3,000

In this scenario, the correct choice indicates that Sam incurs $3,000 in hotel expenses while he is evacuated due to flood waters. This amount reflects the total expenses he needs to cover for his accommodations during the evacuation period. Understanding how such expenses are typically covered in insurance policies is crucial. When a homeowner is forced to leave their residence due to a covered peril, such as a flood, they may incur additional living expenses, which are often included in their homeowner's insurance under additional living expenses (ALE) coverage. This coverage is designed to assist with temporary lodging costs as well as other necessary living expenses incurred during the displacement from their home. In this case, the amount Sam spends, $3,000, should reasonably correspond to the length of his evacuation and the cost of suitable accommodations during that time. It's important to know that this figure must align with typical hotel rates and the duration of the evacuation in order to be valid under an insurance claim.
