Contractual Liability Confusion
The objective of this 4-hour session is to help insurance professionals better understand contractual liability coverage. After an overview of contractual risk transfer, they will identify contract issues encountered when entering into hold-harmless agreements, indemnification agreements, leases, and construction contracts. They will discuss various categories of indemnity agreements including why some may be void and unenforceable, potential defenses to indemnity, and the mechanics of third party over actions. Specific issues related to Additional Insured status will be examined and alternative ways to minimize insurance coverage conflicts will be discussed. They will discuss waiver of subrogation versus waiver of all rights of recovery. Using straightforward examples, they will be able to apply these principles to ever more complex situations and enhance their overall command of an often-misunderstood aspect of contractual liability.
Defense Base Act
Many insurance professionals are familiar with workers’ compensation insurance since it is a mandated requirement for employers in the U.S. When it comes to protections for those whose employment is not subject to state WC laws, the solutions, benefits, and methods for securing coverage are not as widely known. After attending this 4-hour session, insurance professionals will better understand the Defense Base Act (DBA). They will be able to explain what it is, what it does, who needs this unique coverage, and the claims adjudication process. They will examine the eligibility requirements, the benefits under DBA, key points of DBA administration, and remuneration. They will discuss coverage issues, such as: zone of danger, reasonable recreation doctrine, war hazards, and terrorist attacks. They will gain a basic understanding of the steps required to successfully file a DBA claim.
Navigating Risk for Religious & Non-Profit Organizations

In this session, insurance professionals will be given an overview of religious and non-profit organizations that includes their liabilities, unique exposures, and the impact of current issues to better understand the nature of the risk. They will discuss issues that make non-profits difficult to insure, as well as the challenges with obtaining and maintaining insurance. They will discuss the importance of risk management and steps in the risk management process – identification, transfer, and implementation. They will examine general risk exposures and the types of insurance available for non-profits, focusing on churches and schools – premises liability/general liability, sexual misconduct, building usage, professional liability, educators’ liability, employment practices liability, media liability, cyber liability, and special events.
