insurance valuation

Insurance valuation refers to the process of determining the monetary worth of an asset or property for the purpose of insurance coverage. This value helps insurers decide the appropriate premium to charge and how much they would pay out in case of a loss. For example, when insuring a home, the valuation takes into account factors like market value, replacement costs, and the condition of the property. Accurate valuation is crucial, as it ensures that both the insurer and the insured understand the coverage limits and prevent underinsurance or overinsurance.
