Avoiding Underinsurance in Building Property Coverage

No. Join us as Joe Harrington helps us to understand property valuation, what replacement cost really means, and what can be done to make replacement cost mean what we think it means.
Broker Beware - The Latest Coverage Decision that Could Get You Sued

This course will examine specific appellate decisions with respect to language in specialty line policies that can create error and omission claims for insurance brokers. Join us as Fred Fisher brings helps us to understand what recent court decisions may mean to us and how we can avoid these suits altogether.

Nuclear Verdicts®, Social Inflation, and Why They Matter to the Insurance World
Everyone sees the billboards. Law firms are marketing the large settlements and verdicts that they have secured. How are they getting those awards? Sometimes it's a settlement, but sometimes it's awarded by a court.

These Nuclear Verdicts® and the social inflation that they contribute to are the subjects of this session. Join us as Laura Gregory and Tim Fletcher help us to understand these concepts and help us to understand why we should care.
