If the property is destroyed and not restored for an entire month, what is the time period over which the loss is considered?

• A. One week
• B. One month
• C. Six months
• D. One year

Answer: (B)

The time frame being tested is the period of restoration. In many property and business income coverages, losses are measured over the period from the direct physical loss until the damaged property is repaired or replaced and normal operations resume. If the property is destroyed and not restored for an entire month, the loss is considered over that one-month interval because that’s how long the interruption lasts. It wouldn’t be a week, six months, or a year unless the restoration duration or policy terms actually extended that long.
