Commercial Property & Casualty
Business Continuity and Extra Expense
If the pandemic of 2020 taught us anything, it's that business interruptions happen. Today's environment is proof of how critical it is for businesses to plan to stay in business in the event they cannot operate due to a covered or non-covered event. Join us as Richard Faber helps us to understand the issues involved with business interruptions and how business income and extra expense coverage might apply in these cases.
Duty to Defend vs. Duty to Indemnify
In many insurance policies, the contract tells us that the insurer has the "right and duty to defend..." but what does that really mean? Is that the same thing as the duty to indemnify? Which is more important or valuable, if either is? Join us as Joe Junfola helps us to understand how the duty to indemnify works with the duty to defend. He'll deal with issues of long-term exposures and continuous damage and he'll explain the "four corners" test.

Rental Car Insurance Horror Stories
There are close to two million rental cars in the U.S. People rent these cars, seldom with a thought about insurance coverages. Coverage questions about rental cars have to rank in the "top 10" questions customers ask. Probably the top question is whether to spend around $30 a day for the loss damage waiver, which you will see is not a "rip off" and can save customers a lot of money and problems after a rental car is damaged. Join us as David Thompson helps us with these questions and more.
CGL Coverage - Other Insurance and Allocation
Sometimes it is difficult to know how many occurrences make up the liability claim, or worse, how many policies may respond to the claim. Join us as Joe Junfola helps us with this and other issues that surround CGL Coverage - Other Insurance and Allocation.
Hemp (not Cannabis) From an Agricultural Perspective
We have questions about hemp. Many of us aren't sure what makes this particular crop a growing concern. We want to know the real difference between hemp and cannabis. We are pretty sure that the 2018 Farm Bill legalized CBD across the country, but we have our doubts, too. And does it really make a difference how much THC is in the product? Join us as Casey Roberts helps us with these questions and more.
