5 Reasons "Your Work" Isn't Covered
The exclusions on the CGL coverage form can be confusing, especially when you consider that sometimes it looks like there are exclusions for things that should be covered. Join us as Academy Director Patrick Wraight makes sense out of several exclusions that apply to the work that your clients are doing and the products that they are selling.
Nuclear Verdicts®, Social Inflation, and Why They Matter to the Insurance World
Everyone sees the billboards. Law firms are marketing the large settlements and verdicts that they have secured. How are they getting those awards? Sometimes it's a settlement, but sometimes it's awarded by a court. When the court hands down a decision awarding $10 million or more, that's considered a nuclear verdict, according to some definitions. These Nuclear Verdicts® and the social inflation that they contribute to are the subjects of this session. Join us as Laura Gregory and Tim Fletcher help us to understand these concepts and help us to understand why we should care.
E&O Issues You Didn't See Coming: A Two-Part Series
The insurance world is a place of emerging and evolving risks. Just because insurance agencies serve their clients' risk management and insurance needs doesn't mean that their risk management needs are being met. In this special two-part session, Chris Burand brings us an update on the E&O issues that the insurance world is facing today.
Is THAT Covered on Your Farm Liability Form?
Farm liability is a complicated mix of personal liability exposures and commercial liability exposures. Then you add the growing agri-tainment, agri-tourism, and agri-business sectors, and the question becomes, do we have coverage for that? Whether inviting people on the premises for a you-pick or tractor rides (please don't), or there is a farm market on site, current farm exposures aren't what they used to be. Join us as Casey Roberts brings us this session designed to help insurance pros understand, underwrite, and cover the risks of today's farms.
Technology-Enabled Insurance Commerce: Looking Back, Reaching Forward
Have you ever noticed that the insurance and technology worlds seem to have an odd relationship? It's as if their parents told them that they should get along and they do when people are watching, but when no one is looking, they fight.
Maybe it's not that bad, but there have always been technological tools available to the insurance world, which has historically been one of the most data-driven industries. Join us as author Barry Rabkin details this interesting relationship with information that's included in his book, From Stone Tablets to Satellites, available on Amazon.
Life's Unfair: The Mistakes that Lead to Bad Faith Claims
Insurance is a contract based on everyone doing their level best to act with honesty and integrity. When an insured doesn't act that way, it's usually called fraud. When an insurance company doesn't act that way, and a claim is involved, it's called bad faith. What's better, defending a bad faith case, or never having one to begin with? Join us as Chantal Roberts helps us to understand what could constitute a bad faith case, how to avoid it, and how to best serve the client.
The Sinking Florida Property Insurance Market: A Panel Discussion
Patrick Wraight, Academy Director, is bringing together four experts to discuss Florida, what happened in property insurance in 2022, what might happen in 23, and what it may mean for the rest of the country.
Risk and Insurance for Educational Institutions
As the costs and consequences of education escalate, educational institutions at all levels operate under intense scrutiny as they face a rapidly growing web of property and liability risks. At the most basic level, the COVID-19 pandemic gave at least temporary impetus to suits against schools for "failure to educate."
Join us as Joe Harrington brings this session, designed to bring the risk management issues to light within the education space.
When You Have Reservations
The reservation of rights letter is a tool that insurance companies use when they aren't sure if a loss is covered. It is their way of saying to the insured, "we'll provide you defense for now, but we can still say that this isn't a covered loss." Join us as Chantal Roberts helps us to figure out the best way to write a reservation of rights letter to most clearly communicate the reservations with the insured.
Insuring Drones (Because Humans Do Dumb Things with Them)
It seems like drones are everywhere. Individuals and businesses are flying drones to get pictures of their property, get promotional shots, and just for fun. Join us as Kevin Amrhein helps us to understand the exposures that drones and the people operating them create.
