Coverage Triggers: Occurrence vs. Claims Made Liability Coverage

THIS WEEK WE RECOMMEND* THE FOLLOWING “ON DEMAND” WEBINAR:

 

 

 

 

Liability protection can be provided by either an “occurrence” trigger or a “claims made” trigger. There is no difference in the protection provided by these forms (subject only to the purpose of the forms); the only difference is what triggers each form to respond.

Participants in this webinar will learn:

• The coverage triggers for both “occurrence” and “claims made” forms;
• The four legal theories applied to determine when an injury or damage occurs;
• What BERP’s and SERP’s are, when they should be used and their limitations; and
• The problems created when a client moves from one coverage trigger form to another.

PLRB – Tender Benders: A Practical Approach to Additional Insureds and Contractual Indemnity Webinar

 

 

Tender Benders: A Practical Approach to Additional Insureds and Contractual Indemnity

Join us for a Webinar on July 10, 2014

 

 

Space is limited.

 

Join us for the final installment of our webinar series “Hot Topics from the Claims Conference.” We know some of you could not make it to the PLRB Claims Conference this year, so we are bringing you modified versions of some of the best presentations. While there is no CE credit for these webinars, this is a great opportunity to see what you might have missed at the Conference. 

 

When today’s mail brings a request or demand for additional insured and/or trade contract indemnity protection, both novice and seasoned claims professionals have to act both quickly and wisely. If the tender comes from a party claiming to be owed additional insured status under an insurance policy and contractual indemnity under a trade contract, how should those requests be properly and accurately evaluated? Similarly, how do you determine when your insured may be entitled to the protection by a trade partner or another insurer, and what tools should be harnessed to best protect your insured and your company? PLRB is pleased to offer this webinar led by Dan Kohane, a senior member at Hurwitz and Fine, P.C., in Buffalo, NY, as he provides you with a practical approach to unraveling the tender conundrum. 

 

Learning Objectives

 

Dan plans to help you:

 

– Analyze and understand the differences between tenders based upon additional insured provisions found in liability policies and requests for defense and indemnity under hold harmless agreements in trade contracts; 

– Develop a method and approach to identify when to tender and to whom, when to accept a tender and when to refuse; 

– Understand the rights that are associated with additional insured status as compared to contractual indemnity provisions; 

– Respond properly when on the receiving end of a tender and know instinctively when you should be seeking the protection of others.

A Breach is Just the Beginning:

Potential Liability for Mishandling Electronic Data

The devastating impact of a data breach can be far-reaching.  Organizations such as IT vendors or even law firms, whose lapse in security or other internal failures ultimately permitted a breach to occur, may feel the impact, too, when faced with liability claims due to their role in an incident.  Attend this webinar for discussion on the nature and extent of these “other” claims that may arise out of a data breach, including strategies for evaluating and defending them.

Webinar Wednesday: Eyewitness Testimony and Its Impact on Adjustments

THIS WEEK WE RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING WEBINAR: Not only is this an excellent webinar for liability adjusters, it is actually good for property folks, too.  It is important in subrogation as well as determining the cause of loss.

Eyewitness Testimony and Its Impact on Adjustments Join us for a Webinar on June 12, 2014   Please register using your Provencher email address to register  as we are an Affiliate Member. Space is limited. Join David Curry, Ph.D., Vice President, Human Performance Sciences and Technology for ITC Experts, for our next webinar on Eyewitness Testimony and Its Impact on Adjustments. Judges and juries oftentimes regard eyewitnesses to accidents or incidents as a sort of gold standard as to what occurred. The great credence they give to the testimony of such eyewitnesses largely ignores well-known limitations to the human perceptual system. The problem is further compounded by a lack of understanding of how the mind retains information and how it evolves over time. This presentation is designed to acquaint the audience with some of the issues which affect or limit the perception of the individual at the time of an event, as well as make attendees aware of how and why memory for the event evolves over time in response to a wide variety of factors. This presentation is particularly timely, since judges in New Jersey are now required to provide this type of information to juries in criminal cases, likely opening the door to similar testimony in civil litigation as well. Learning Objectives By attending this session, you will: – Review human perceptual limitations and aberrations that may affect an individual’s recall of an accident/incident – Describe memory limitations, misinterpretations, and alterations that may affect an individual’s recall of critical details of a witnessed accident/incident – Evaluate how limitations can most easily be identified, addressed, and handled during investigation and potential litigation – Demonstrate why scientifically-obtained physical evidence is often more valid than witness testimony ** Registration is limited to 1000 participants ** Title: Eyewitness Testimony and Its Impact on Adjustments Date: Thursday, June 12, 2014 Time: 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM CST (12:00 – 1:15 PM EST / 10:00 – 11:15 AM MST / 9:00 – 10:15 AM PST) Cost: Free for PLRB & LIRB Members and PLRB Affiliate Members Please register using your Provencher email address as we are an Affiliate Member.

Retail, Restaurant & Hospitality: Defending Associates Relative to Criminal & Intentional Acts

In this webinar, we will examine the coverage and defense issues that arise when an insured’s employee commits crimes involving property loss and personal injury while on the job or on the work site.  Specifically, we will consider how “Who is an Insured”,  the Intentional Acts Exclusion and the Innkeeper’s Liability Endorsement apply in various situations.  We will look at the best practice for handling claims of those employees who are covered under RORs and how defense counsel should defend those employees.
