Commercial Property: Five Bombs and How to Defuse Them
Commercial Property policies have gaps in coverage that are writting into them intentionally. Sometimes those gaps in coverage are for exclusions that cannot be insured. Sometimes, those gaps in coverage are created because the way the policy is written and rated, it doesn't anticipate certain losses and often those losses are likely to occur in connection with a property loss.
What's an insured to do about this? That's why Kevin Amrhein is with us. He's going to show us five places where there is a potential coverage issue and how we might help insureds to fix those issues.
