Does the exposure of hired and non-owned auto liability on your book of business make you a little queasy? Check out this two-webinar series, At Risk, that provides a chance to dissect this coverage and hear how it played into a claim affected by social inflation. 

This first part of the At Risk series on hired and non-owned auto liability will delve into the following aspects: 
Exposing the hidden risks for business and individuals
Potentially insufficient commercial and personal auto liability insurance coverage and increased risk to carriers
Resulting bodily injury and property damage losses and impact of social inflation, a discussion that will continue in further detail in Part 2 of this webinar series.
