The course “Intentional Versus Negligent Conduct for Casualty Adjusters” is designed to enhance the student’s knowledge, understanding, and professional competence in the legal and claims handling aspects of situations that involve difficult questions concerning whether an insured’s conduct should be considered intentional or negligent. The module is presented by Rina Carmel, an attorney with the law firm of Carlson, Calladine & Peterson in Los Angeles.
The presenter begins by explaining the importance of examining the particular facts for each individual case presented and offers examples in self-defense cases. Next, the presenter covers the insurer’s duty to investigate when there is a question of intentional versus negligent conduct. The presenter then lists and explains the four standards of intent which are used by the various jurisdictions in determining intentional conduct. The presenter further discusses policy language and common exclusions relevant to this topic. Finally, the presenter goes into additional detail in two areas where questions of intentional versus negligent conduct often arise, those being assault and battery as well as self- defense.
After completing the course, the viewer should be able to recognize choice of law issues and make the appropriate determination; properly investigate a loss which involves a question of intentional versus negligent conduct; analyze the plaintiff’s complaint as well as the allegations and determine whether there is a duty to defend; list the four most common standards of intent used by the various jurisdictions; define inferred intent and apply it to factual scenarios; recognize the policy language and specific exclusions for intentional conduct; apply the standards to assault and battery cases; and apply the standards to self-defense cases.
The course is designed for practitioners and insurance professionals working in the area of third-party casualty insurance coverage and litigation.
