Umbrella and Excess Liability

Registration: 8 – 8:30 a.m.           
Program: 8:30 a.m. – 12:05 p.m.

What's It About?
This is a practical and useful program that will enable an insurance practitioner to determine the “best” umbrella or excess policy. Workshop attendees will analyze the major components of umbrella and excess policies; explore how to avoid major gaps in coverage; and learn how to layer a “mixed” excess program.

Who’s It For?
This program is designed for all insurance professionals and other professionals who must protect the interests of their “customers,” including agents, brokers, underwriters, adjusters, reinsurers, risk managers, and attorneys; and who have at least three years of experience.

What You’ll Learn
At the conclusion of this workshop, the attentive learner will be able to:

• Identify the types of excess liability policies and to provide characteristics of each type.

• Explore the excess gap that can be created when the primary includes defense within policy limits.

• Explain major excess liability policy concepts, important policy provisions, and exclusions common to excess liability policies.

• Understand how a “prior insurance” condition can act to exclude coverage.

• Discover how non-concurrent aggregates can transfer the loss back to the insured.

• Structure a layered program, including both occurrence and claims-made triggers.

Professional Liability

Registration: 12:30 – 1 p.m.

It will discuss general characteristics of professional liability policies, and will identify common characteristics of such policies.

Who’s It For?
This program is designed for all insurance and other professionals who must protect their own interests and those of their “customers,” including agents, brokers, risk managers, underwriters, attorneys, accountants, and business people concerned with the respective issues.

• Identify various types of professionals for whom special risk management programs are needed.
