Answer: The amount to be paid by the insurance company is $290,000.00

Explanation: An insurance is a means of hedging against uncertainties. It is a riak management technique used to protect the insured against any eventuality. In insurance, a 100/300 coverage means that you have coverage of $100,000 bodily injury liability insurance per person and $300,000 total bodily injury liability insurance per accident.

As such, for the lawsuit against Mr Cousins, the insurance company will pay $290,000 that is $100,000 to the first person who sued for $150,000and $95,000 each to the other two individuals.
