Understanding Occupational Disease in the Age of COVID-19
One of the questions related to the COVID-19 pandemic revolves around workers' compensation insurance. Join us as James Moore helps us to understand the impact of COVID-19 and workers' compensation. Is it possible that a worker could contract COVID-19 while at work and is that compensable? James plans to help us with these questions and more.
Business Continuity and Extra Expense
If the pandemic of 2020 taught us anything, it's that business interruptions happen. Today’s environment is proof of how critical it is for businesses to plan to stay in business in the event they cannot operate due to a covered or non-covered event. Join us as Richard Faber helps us to understand the issues involved with business interruptions and how business income and extra expense coverage might apply in these cases.

Commercial Property Master Class - COPE (Construction)
Join us for the first session in our new Commercial Property Master Class, COPE (Construction).
In this session, we will make an in-depth examination of the construction of commercial buildings. We will look at how the walls are constructed and at different roofing systems and how these go into classifying a building according to its resistance to fire and wind.
Duty to Defend vs. Duty to Indemnify
In many insurance policies, the contract tells us that the insurer has the "right and duty to defend..." but what does that really mean? Is that the same thing as the duty to indemnify? Which is more important or valuable, if either is? Join us as Joe Junfola helps us to understand how the duty to indemnify works with the duty to defend. He'll deal with issues of long-term exposures and continuous damage and he'll explain the "four corners" test.
Cannabis: Risks, Opportunities, and Trends
Join Dr. Brenda Wells, a recognized national expert in cannabis risk management, as she explains cannabis and its current legality across the United States. Learn about the various legal rulings that impact how insurance coverages treat cannabis and examine the risks and opportunities that cannabis presents for the risk management and insurance industry.
Essential Insurance Terms and Concepts
Why is it called property and casualty insurance when you buy a property policy and a liability policy?
What is reinsurance?
What do you mean they had the wrong class code?
Audit? What is this? The IRS?
The insurance vocabulary is as full of gobbledegook as any other industry is. We believe that insurance professionals fall into two categories: the ones that think everyone understands them, and the others that pretend to understand their peers.
That's what this session is about. We plan to cover the most essential insurance terms and concepts that you will need to understand so that you can carry on conversations.
You Can't Read Insurance Policies Like Anything Else
Insurance policies are hard to read. We all know it and we all act like they aren't, especially when a customer asks us a "simple" question. You can't just grab a policy and start reading page one and read all the way through. It jumps around and you have to know where to jump with it. Join us as Patrick brings us his top guidelines for how to read an insurance policy and more importantly, the simplest ways to explain the policy to your customers.
How to Keep Work Comp Claim Costs from Spiraling Out of Control
Declining workers' compensation rates are a good thing and declining numbers of workers' injuries are a good thing, but they are not everything.
Paying attention to these without also paying close attention to the cost per claim is risky. Increased severity can overcome decreased frequency in claims so it makes sense to watch this cost per claim.
Join Frank Pennachio as he helps us to deal with claim cost creep in this session.
Certificates of Insurance Redux
Certificates of insurance are a perennial issue for insurance professionals. You never stop getting requests for certificates and each request has the potential to ask for something you haven't had to deal with yet.
Join us as Casey Roberts brings us his updated session on certificates of insurance.
