Carli Verez lost everything to a fire and has spent the last few weeks living in a motel room at the cost of $6,033. Her dwelling, which was destroyed as a result of a lightning strike, was insured with an HO-2 policy for $401,618. Prior to the loss, her home was valued at $477,000, her detached garage and pool house were valued at $47,523, and her personal property had an actual cash value of $128,354. To make matters worse she sustained $10,000 in injuries while trying without success to save her three Greyhound dogs valued at $6,000 each. How much of her total losses and expenses will be reimbursed if she has a $1,000 deductible?
