If a mortagee a owner has an insurance policy on a building and the building burns who can recover losses?

Answer

Each of the named beneficiaries of the policy and the insurance company can recover losses. A party with property within the building can file a claim for the damaged property, but it depends on the coverage offered by the policy that was purchased whether it will be paid out. A victim of a loss can file a small claim/lawsuit against the insuring authority and the owner of the building in an attempt to cover losses. You should first file a claim with the insurer prior to spending money on legal action. Often you can mediate with the company for compensation.
