Program Description
With the memories of recent natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy still very much in the minds of many people, this webinar will be devoted to developing the unique skills and tools needed to service affected clients and assist them with their business interruption (BI) claims. The webinar will focus on exploring the unique issues faced by practitioners when reviewing insurance policies, specifically policy language as it pertains to coverage limitations and exclusions. There will also be a segment on how the participant can then develop and market these newly acquired skills to assist potential clients.

After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Differentiate between issues faced in a BI claim and how these calculations differ from a tuitional damages analysis
- Identify key issues in interpreting policy limitation and computing BI damages
- Employ newly learned skills to compute BI damage claims
- Review BI polices and recommend areas of improvement based on an assessment of a business's needs
