Program Description

Agreements between the insured and the insurance companies are not always able to be reached. Sometimes, those doing the calculations of the claims can get so lost in the details that they lose sight of the big picture or reach a total impasse. In those instances, one of the parties to the contract of insurance (i.e. either the insured or the insurer) can invoke the appraisal clause available within the policy.

The use of a third party to see both sides of the argument and reach a conclusion is then required. This webinar will debate the effective use of the appraisal clause in resolving business income disputes and educate the participants on how parties involved on the appraisal process might (or are required to) proceed to assist in resolving the business interruption (BI) dispute.

Learning Objectives

After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:

- Understand what is meant by appraisal
- How the provisions of the appraisal clause within the BI policy is utilized and invoked
- Understand the operation of the appraisal process and why it is utilized
- Understand who can serve as an appraiser and umpire
- Utilize the appraisal process as an avenue to bring a BI claim to resolution

Who Should Attend
