GENERAL LIABILITY
WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Session 1: The Blame Game: A Discussion on Negligence
Whose fault is it? This question demonstrates the growing need for liability insurance. Having an understanding of how the tort of negligence affects general liability claims is key to underwriting any liability line of coverage. Attendees will leave this session with a more complete understanding of the concept of negligence, which will better prepare all parties involved in the insurance contract.
Duration: 30-60 minutes
Session 2: Don’t I Know You? Get Familiar With Named Insureds and Additional Insureds
What many consider the starting point of any insurance policy — the named insured — can also cause the most confusion and generate the most questions. In this session, we will discuss some of the most impactful gray areas associated with named insured/additional insured and the important role both entities play in insurance coverage.
Duration: 30-60 minutes
Session 3: Take Cover- Understanding the CGL Coverage Form
As insurance professionals, we are often asked if something is covered or not. Since being asked that question is both situational and tricky to answer, the best way to handle the response is to be prepared with knowledge. This session will discuss the foundational form for general liability coverage (CG0001) and prepare you to have meaningful conversations with your customers.
Duration: 30-60 minutes
