Business Auto Claims That Cause Problems

2:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. ET

with Terry Tadlock

When putting a commercial lines package together sometimes we don’t give the proper attention to the Business Auto Policy. This policy is full of E&O potential! This course is designed to shed light on the most common mistakes we make when insuring commercially owned vehicles. In this web-based session, we will discuss who is an insured, additional insured endorsements, application of symbols, employee hired auto, and, don’t forget the biggest E&O exposure of them all, drive other car.

Wednesday

E&O 2022: After the Pandemic Webinar

8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ET

with Keith Jones, CPCU, CLU, ChFC, CASL, AAI, Commercial Account Executive, Earl Bacon Agency

In Part 1 of the online class, we will explore the recent development of agency websites potentially creating some headaches regarding agency errors and omissions issues. The agency website has become a new target for plaintiff attorneys. We will discuss this issue in-depth and briefly review some specific agency E&O policy provisions. Then, we will revisit a litany of general recommendations and age-old procedural reminders. Our discussion will conclude with examining/revisiting technology issues, how we communicate, and best practices.

In Part 2, we begin with a look at current trends and what to do when an E&O incident occurs or an actual claim is filed, followed by a brief reminder of the pitfalls of trying to be too helpful. We will take a close look at two (2) categories of claims. First, the urban legend variety. Many of these are a little dated … but factual, with some embellishment, offered for effect. Second, we will examine real (actual!) claims from Swiss Re's claim files. Both large national claims and a laundry list of paid/settled claims in Florida, all right from the 2020 book of business.

Approved for CE credit.

"Why Does My HO Policy Hate My Riding Lawnmower?"

When it comes to ISO homeowners or personal auto policies, many contain gaps or exclusions clients may not even be aware of—until it’s too late. This two-hour, web-based class examines everyday issues such as recreational vehicles, who is an insured, and business property.
