About the Session:
Too often a claims professional and an attorney handling a new claim miss the opportunity in the early stages of the investigation to confirm if the new claim has the potential to exceed the policy limits, if the excess carrier should be put on notice (if there is excess coverage), if the client has maintained all relevant evidence, and what support a retained expert can provide. These missed opportunities can lead to misjudgments of the potential value of the claim, a missed opportunity for early resolution, and can threaten a successful defense going forward. Additionally, it is important early on to identify sources of risk transfer in order to timely tender a claim to other parties who may be obligated to defend or indemnify an insured, and to understand potential exposure based upon contractual liability provisions. It is also important to identify who may have additional insured rights, and to determine whether different types of insurance policies may be obligated to respond to a loss. This roundtable of seasoned claims representatives and attorneys will discuss how to avoid these pitfalls and provide lessons learned from their own experiences.
