We bet you can guess the focus of this session. No, it’s about BAP coverage symbols. Although the Coverage Symbols are a “basic” of business auto coverage, there is actually a lot of key information in the symbols. Beyond the gold in the Coverage Symbols, the last part of this session focuses on coverage for Trailers, a very common coverage question.
Join us as Chris Boggs helps make Coverage Symbols crystal clear and you'll find the gold in this session.
The Easy Questions No One Asks (Including YOU), And What Happens When You Don't
In this session Chris Boggs talks about key underwriting questions no one asks (or thinks to ask) and what happens when you don’t. For instance, “Who owns the building?” You might think that's an easy one. We think it's obvious that the insured owns the building, but what happens at claim time when it is finally discovered that the insured doesn't own the building, and another corporation owns the building? How's that claim going to be paid? This is the sort of question that we're dealing with in this session.

In his return to the Academy microphone, Chris Boggs brings his new session all about the dirty words that insurance people use, the truth-stretching of applications, and the ubiquity of disclaimers.
