Business Interruption Insurance Setting Correct Indemnity Period

  • Fri 16 Jun 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
  • Zoom- Webinar
    • Alan Chandler

Brokers increasingly face Pi claims for failing to advise clients correctly on setting appropriate Business Interruption indemnity periods, and with all the unfortunate events occurring in the world at the moment, making rebuild materials very scare, never has there been a better opportunity to engage your policyholders on this subject. Recently a broker was successfully sued for failing to give any guidance around indemnity periods to a manufacturer who had a twelve-month indemnity period. Nothing was ever recorded by the broker about the fact that twelve months was almost certainly inadequate, in fact it was the Loss adjuster after the fire took place that educated the client on setting correct indemnity periods, unfortunately too late for all concerned. This webinar looks to make sure this does not happen to you or your staff.

Business Interruption Insurance Extensions

  • Thu 25 May 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
  • Zoom- Webinar
    • Alan Chandler

One of the many things the Covid-19 pandemic has taught the insurance industry is the importance of going through the various Bi extensions with clients and documenting these discussions. Failure to do this could leave the broker wide open to a PI claim against them. This presentation, delivered by Alan Chandler one of the most popular speakers in the UK, looks specifically at BI extensions, the purpose of each one of them and how in each case an incident could give rise to a claim. Many in the industry have an incorrect view of extensions, for example many discuss utilities extension cover with clients when they really mean terminal ends, so give a wrong impression of the coverage their policy is actually providing. This webinar will be highly beneficial for Brokers and Insurers alike.
