Many Vehicles, Many Uses
In this webinar, Joe Harrington will update us on emerging exposure for the variety of vehicles used by individuals (autos, motorcycles, electric scooters, and more).
Not only is the number and variety of vehicles increasing, but the ways that people use them as well, including ride-sharing, networked deliveries, and "last mile" transit.
Among other things, standard homeowners coverage for us of "non-owned" vehicles (other than autos) may need to be reconsidered.
The Evolution of Cyber Liability Exposure and Coverage
Cyber insurance has evolved from a fringe surplus lines product to a must have coverage for most organizations. Join us as Joe Harrington helps us to understand the current status of Cyber Liability and how the exposures and coverages are changing before our eyes.
The Latest Scoop on Additional Insureds and Certificates of Insurance
When a customer requests that an additional insured is added to their policy, they often don't know what coverage that additional insured is getting.

A New Era for U.S. Flood Insurance
We have been told all of our insurance careers that flood is an uninsurable exposure and that it is best left to the NFIP for coverage. The truth is that the private market is writing more flood coverage than ever and doing so well. Join us as we discover what the private market is doing to address this growing market segment.
Insurance and Pets: Expanding exposure, expanding coverage
Years ago, household pets were just animals. In general, they could be disposed of or replaced with little more thought than you would give to a cow or goat. If a pet took ill, its owner would often "put it down" (euthanize it). If you accidentally killed or injured someone else's pet, you would be liable only for the cost of buying another.
Join us as we examine how peoples' feelings toward their pets has evolved over the years and how our insurance policies are being asked to react as well.
Insurance and Firearms- Where do we stand now?
In the wake of recent mass shootings, Americans are engaged in profound consideration of public and private responses to firearms violence.

Using CAT Models to Develop Liability Pricing
