In case of a claim for any amount either small or large you undertake the percentage of the damage as co-insurer. If building’s value for example is €200.000, you insure it for €100.000 and you suffer a damage of €50.000 you will be reimbursed for €25.000. You will be liable for 50% of any possible damage. In other words underinsurance means partial insurance and partial insurance means partial reimbursement.
What are the consequences of insuring my building or contents at an amount lower than the actual rebuilding or replacing value?
