Commercial Property: Five Bombs and How to Defuse Them
Commercial Property policies have gaps in coverage that are writting into them intentionally. Sometimes those gaps in coverage are for exclusions that cannot be insured.

What's an insured to do about this? That's why Kevin Amrhein is with us. He's going to show us five places where there is a potential coverage issue and how we might help insureds to fix those issues.
