Summary of Constructive Total Loss

In marine insurance, a loss where cost of repair or recovery would exceed the value of the property were it to be saved or repaired. In British usage, an insured cannot claim a constructive total loss unless the costs of rehabilitation exceed 100 percent of the value; in the United States, however, a claim for constructive total loss can be advanced, in most cases, if the costs of saving or repair exceed 50 percent of the value.
