Cash Settlement

Cash Settlement in the insurance industry refers to the process where a claim is resolved by the insurer paying the policyholder a sum of money instead of providing a replacement or repair service. This method is often used when the cost of repair exceeds the value of the item or when replacement is not feasible. The amount paid is typically based on the item's current market value or the policy's terms and conditions.

This approach allows for flexibility and quick resolution of claims, especially in cases where the damaged or lost item is unique or its replacement would be impractical. However, it requires accurate valuation to ensure fairness to both the insurer and the insured. Policyholders should carefully review their insurance policies to understand how cash settlements are calculated and under what circumstances they are applicable.
