Alicia has to pay $15,500. Meanwhile, her insurance pays $25,000.
After reducing her policy coverage from $50,000 to $25,000 this implies that her insurance would only cover any claim up to a maximum of $25,000.
In this case, we subtract the amount to be compensated according to the verdict ($40,000) from $25,000 to get the amount not covered by her policy and which Alicia would have to pay herself
40000-25000 = 15000
$15,000 + $500 deductible = $15,500.
