Creating Common Sense from the Chaos

Why is it everyone knows there is no such thing as a "standard" commercial umbrella, yet the vast majority of both agents and consumers act like there is?

When you are dealing with millions of dollars in protection, even a minor oversight or miscalculation could prove financially disastrous.

Join us Wednesday, August 14 for this one-hour webinar.

What you'll learn:
  • How a simple four word phrase could turn a claim response from "We're here for you" to "Good luck, and let us know how it goes."
  • "Incongruent coverage triggers" what they are and why should you care.
  • Why should the umbrella's defense provision be a critical question; don't the underlying policies cover that?
  • What simple oversight can render a well-planned excess liability program totally noncompliant with a common contract requirement?
  • Why might "Which pays first" turn from a simple "Other insurance Clause" question into a major coverage gap?
  • Where are the most common coverage landmines buried that could blow major holes in an expected seamless integration?
  • What is a simple technique that can quickly reveal almost any significant layer coordination coverage gap?
