Webinar: How to correctly advise policyholders on the Policy coverage gaps caused by the Covid-19 lockdown - ADDITIONAL SESSION

Zoom - Webinar
Tuesday, 28 April 2020
4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (UK time)
    • Alan Chandler

The Covid-19 lockdown has created far more gaps in covers than most brokers realise, and this webinar takes a look at where these coverage gaps arise and how best to advise your clients on these issues:

  • Many policies do not cover equipment whilst in employees home - are you sure your client has the right cover?
  • What should you inform your policyholders about the potential new EL and PL risks that arise whilst employees are at home, and what is the coverage position on furloughing?
  • Why a broker needs to be very careful about which insurer they place coverage with going forward, particularly in relation to declarations.
  • There is a significantly increased D&O and Employment practices exposure - these covers have never been more important, how well are you advising clients on their increased exposure?
  • The cyber risk has increased dramatically - are you informing your clients of the critical need for cyber cover?
  • Why it has never been more important to get your clients onto a declaration linked basis for Bi - this is much more than the uplift in coverage
  • What is the contract law position on payment holidays?
  • Will the unoccupancy period invalidate part or all of your clients cover?
  • Should the client be thinking of going onto laid up cover for part of their fleet coverage?
  • What is the position of the Insurance Act 2015 on changes policyholders are having to make to their business?
