Which BAP supplementary payment covers court costs taxed against the insured?

• A. Bail bonds - up to $2,000
• B. Cost of bonds for release of attachments made against the insured
• C. Reasonable expenses that the insured incurs at the company's request
• D. Court costs taxed against the insured

Answer: (D)

In a BAP, supplementary payments are additional amounts the insurer pays beyond the liability limit to cover defense and certain court-related costs. The payment for court costs taxed against the insured is the specific supplement that handles costs that the court assesses against the insured in a covered claim. This means if the court assigns costs to the insured as part of the case, the insurer covers those costs as part of the policy’s supplementary payments, helping protect the insured from out-of-pocket court expenses. The other items—bail bonds up to a limit, costs of bonds to release attachments, and reasonable expenses incurred at the insurer’s request—are also covered under supplementary payments, but the question targets the item that explicitly covers court costs taxed against the insured.
