What Time Does This Start For Me?

Pacific Mountain Central Eastern

OVERVIEW AND TOPICS


Participants 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 compare and be able to explain the difference between legal and ethical responsibilities and discuss the foundations of ethical behavior. They will review court cases dealing with the agent as a “professional” along with the agent’s duty to the customer, insurer, and peers. Using a series of case scenarios, they will be able to identify what constitutes an ethical dilemma and apply the ethical principles discussed in this session to determine the right course of action.
Agents will examine some of the endorsements that can severely restrict coverage under the Commercial General Liability (CGL) Policy. They will review several ISO endorsements and see examples of non-standard endorsements often used by insurers. In each case, they will discuss the effect that the endorsement has on the coverage that would otherwise have been afforded by the CGL Policy.
Certificates of insurance and the related issue of additional insureds are often sources of confusion and E&O claims for the insurance professional. In this session, insurance professionals will discuss additional insureds in-depth – types of insureds, how they work, how coverage is limited, and common problems that can arise. They will gain a better understanding of how the named insured status relates to commercial general liability, business auto, and property insurance. For each policy type, they will discuss why an additional endorsement may be needed and the impact on the coverage. They will learn the importance of a certificate of insurance and how to use it properly. Using specific ACORD certificate of insurance forms (ACORD 24, 25, 23, 27, and 28), they will examine the purpose of the certificate, critical things to consider before issuing a certificate, how to properly use certificates of insurance, and identify ways to avoid some of the common problems and errors.
The potential for professional liability claims may seem apparent when considering services such as engineering or construction management. In this 4-hour session, insurance professionals will explore exposures beyond the typical commercial general liability, workers compensation, and commercial auto exposures in the construction industry. They will examine the types of coverages for ancillary exposures, such as: contractors pollution, contingent pollution, contractors professional liability, rectification costs coverage, protective indemnity coverage, network security/privacy liability, technology, faulty workmanship, etc. They will identify emerging risks that could have a significant impact on the construction industry, such as: automated/autonomous construction machinery, robotics, drones, and artificial intelligence. They will discuss the exposures, coverage issues, and gaps with traditional insurance policies and explore possible solutions to these emerging and unique risks.
