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.
Participants will learn about the variety of liability exposures and coverages that face the small to middle market commercial account. They will have a better understanding of the Commercial General Liability Occurrence and Claims-Made coverage forms. They will take an in-depth look at Who Is An Insured under the CGL policy and discuss reasons for adding additional insureds. They will discuss the liquor liability exclusion and how to provide adequate coverage for their insureds. They will identify liability issues in the Business Automobile Coverage form. The session will conclude with a discussion of Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance and Certificates of Insurance. They will identify the problems for each and recommend solutions.
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. They will examine the dysfunctions of an agency organization and discuss how to build a healthy organization.
