The course “Complex Liability Coverage Methods” is designed to enhance the student’s knowledge, understanding, and professional competence in the handling of third-party claims with complex coverage issues. The module is presented by Dan D. Kohane, a partner with the law firm of Hurwitz & Fine, and April Elkovitch of Meadowbrook Insurance Group.
Mr. Kohane begins by introducing the concept that tort and coverage issues must be kept separate in order to properly analyze all of the issues. Ms. Elkovitch then speaks about the underwriting aspects of complex coverage claims. Next, Mr. Kohane walks the audience through an example problem. Finally, Ms. Elkovitch speaks about the principles of writing good coverage letters and explains the importance of offering independent counsel.
After completing the course, the attendee should be able to…
recognize the distinction between tort and coverage issues for a third-party claim; maintain an awareness of the time limits for various claim activities; identify the importance of maintaining a close relationship with the underwriting department; seek additional coverage for an insured when a third-party claim is made; notify all proper parties when a third-party claim is made; organize coverage principles into a formula that applies to all claims; write effective coverage letters in all types of situations; identify situations when independent counsel (Cumis counsel) is required; and recognize the important issues in a complex construction injury claim.
The course is designed for practitioners and insurance professionals working in the area of third-party casualty insurance coverage and litigation.
