OVERVIEW AND TOPICS
Main Street America's Property Coverage Traps & Dilemmas
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.
Main Street America's Ancillary Property Coverages and Catastrophic Loss
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.
Cannabis, An Evolving Topic - It’s Not Just A Drug
The trend toward mainstreaming and legitimizing marijuana is here and will continue to have a significant impact on the insurance industry. With that trend comes new regulations and a huge number of insurance questions and issues. Even today, there seems to be misunderstanding about the differences between hemp and cannabis. After a brief review of the history of cannabis in the U.S., participants will discuss the legal and regulatory issues. They will learn how the 2018 Farm Bill changed the landscape and what it effectively did. Using current ISO forms, they will examine insurance coverage considerations with farm, general liability, commercial property, as well as endorsements. They will discuss other associated issues and challenges with insuring hemp and cannabis risks including banking problems, transportation, medical marijuana and workers compensation, product liability, D&O, crime, E&O and medical professional, employment practices liability, and cyber.
Commercial Property, Key Items To Understand
Commercial property insurance policies are fraught with a “minefield” of exclusions, limits, and conditions. Participants will identify some of the areas that could be most concerning to their insureds, especially after a loss has occurred, and examine ways to solve them. They will discuss significant issues regarding ordinance or law, additional covered property, additional building property, debris removal, pollutant clean up, rebuilding expenses following a disaster, property valuations, and loss settlements.
