How Policy Acquisition Can Affect A Claim
Carlsbad, CA
April 3-5, 2008
As commercial property insurance becomes increasingly complex, more and more claim investigations focus on who
wrote the policy, what the parties intended,who is responsible for the negligence of agents and brokers, and how to
interpret the policy. Any lawyer addressing a property insurance claim must understand how facts surrounding policy
acquisition can affect the rights and obligations of insureds,insurers and agents/brokers in post-loss scenarios.
We are honored to present our distinguished group of leading professionals to coverhow the acquisition of a policy
can affect a claim. As we have all seen, the question of whether or not there is coverage for a claim often extends
to factors beyond the policy language. For example, who brokers and agents represent and their responsibilities
(and liabilities), how insureds and insurers go about evaluating a risk, how policies get underwritten, reinsurance
of property risks, interpretation of policies negotiated with sophisticated insureds and the use of underwriting
intent and drafting history in interpreting policies can all be relevant issues surrounding coverage.
We would also like to extend a special welcome to the non-lawyers, and in-house counsel presenters. We went to
great lengths to diversify the points of view here this weekend in order to give all attending a more well-rounded,
in depth, view of what typically occurs when a policy is acquired, when a loss occurs, and when a loss is adjusted.
We especially thank the speakers that are not in private practice for taking the time to help us accomplish this.
