OVERVIEW AND TOPICS


How do insurance professionals appropriately insure Main Street America’s real property with 100+ year-old buildings that are purchased for a few hundred thousand dollars and have a multi-million-dollar replacement cost estimator? In this session, participants discuss the built-in moral hazard and contemplate the appropriate property coverage form choice (Replacement Cost, Functional Replacement Cost, Actual Cash Value) and its effect on the insured’s exposures and viability of their business. Using 4 catastrophic losses in a 4-year period, they will examine the reasons why insurance professionals must insure to the catastrophic loss exposure and not be lulled to sleep by satisfactory partial loss settlements.
What are the hidden issues of insuring 100+ year-old buildings bought for a fraction of what it would take to rebuild them? These buildings are often bought and insured by small business enterprises as a home to their business model and give little thought to the ramifications of sharing walls with their neighbors and the effect of their insurance choices (especially Replacement Cost vs Actual Cash Value) on their livelihood and business viability. Using 4 catastrophic losses in 4 years, participants will examine catastrophic preparedness and ancillary issues, such as: shared walls, OSHA involvement, line of sight, contractors, and weather after the weather event. They will discuss ancillary coverage considerations with debris removal, business income extra expense, ordinance and law, and more.
Using a hypothetical insurance case study, participants will gain an understanding of the stages of the investigation and litigation including the importance of the insured’s participation in the process. Key policy terms that provide the insurance carrier with tools to successfully investigate and defend lawsuits against insureds will be examined and discussed.
Participants will discuss the importance of ethical behavior. They will examine the professional, legal, and ethical responsibilities in dealing with the day-to-day realities of the complex, ethical issues of the insurance industry. They will discuss the key to ethical decision making.
In this session, participants take an in-depth look at the business income exposure. They review business continuation plans and learn the finer points of policy language and its effects on the insured. They will be able to explain the pros and cons of various endorsements, the use of the Extra Expense Coverage Form and the Leasehold Interest Coverage Form. Using a business income case study, participants will better understand catastrophe planning and be able to explain how Business Income Coverage, when properly designed, is critical to this process.
