Business Interruption Insurance, with Rod Smith, CII-accredited Advanced Technical Trainer

Introduction

Business interruption insurance is often seen as one of the most complex and misunderstood areas of our industry. However, with claims and litigation increasing apace, this is a topic that insurance professionals do need to grasp firmly, in order to deal with both placing cover correctly and assisting with claims - and thereby reduce professional indemnity exposures.
