Betterment or Depreciation |
When a part of the auto must be replaced by a new part and that part has a life span less than the entire car, the insured will receive more value than he/she is entitled to. Because his/her economic condition will be "bettered", we will subtract a fair percentage which he/she should pay. Therefore, the insured will be placed in the same economic position after the loss as before. The percentage is called depreciation or betterment and usually taken on such items as tires, batteries, convertible tops, etc., etc., when they are worn or have depreciated. Schedules of average rates for all depreciable items are listed in section 6-Loss Control. |
