Matching: A Guide to the Law & Nuances of Matching

Presenters: Brendan L. Labbe, JD, Partner, Sloane and Walsh, LLP; Bob Purcell, CCP, CPRIA, VP-Property Claims Client Mgr., Munich Re US; Meghan Steines, CPCU, AIC, AINS, Property Claims Supervisor, Amica Mutual Group

Brendan L. Labbe, Bob Purcell, and Meghan Steines will provide a refresher and in-depth dive into the principle of matching for both novice and veteran claims professionals. On its face, matching is a rather simple principle, but in application, matching presents difficult claims questions on a weekly basis. Every year, new court decisions are issued addressing whether matching is covered and the application thereof. The presenters will elucidate this opaque topic with a national survey, plenty of examples, and review of policy language, statutes, regulations, and case law. After the webinar, attendees will be able to:

• apply the principle of matching to questions faced during both day-to-day claims handling and unique, complex claims;
• compare the existence and application of regulations and case law throughout the country;
• navigate differing policy language to understand courts’ findings of coverage, and no coverage, for matching; and
• understand the interplay between policy provisions, case law and regulations that underlie the principle of matching.
