The Dirty
Dozen:
Twelve External Factors Impacting Insurance
Contracts
Registration: 8 – 8:30
a.m.
Program 8:30 a.m. – 12:05 p.m.
What's It About?
The
role of the claims professional in determining
coverage would be so easy if everything was in
black and white! Insurance coverage can be
impacted by factors external to the contract,
which leads to gray areas. In this workshop,
attendees will examine 12 factors external to the
insurance contract that must be considered when
analyzing coverage afforded by a policy contract.
This interactive workshop will include examination
of recent court cases. To maximize learning,
attendees will have an opportunity to apply the
principles discussed, and to gauge the impact of
the “Dirty Dozen.”
Who’s It
For?
This program is designed for all
insurance professionals and other professionals
who must protect the interests of their
“customers,” including claims professionals,
agents, risk managers, underwriters, attorneys,
and accountants.
What You’ll Learn
At
the conclusion of this workshop, the attentive
learner will be able to:
-
Understand how the courts’ interpretation
can impact contractual language.
-
Know how coverage can be extended or
broadened by statutes.
-
Realize that coverage issues are not
always as they seem from the policy
language. |
