Insurance 101: Property & Casualty Basics

It is designed to familiarize the non-insurance professional with foundational areas of traditional insurance coverage accompanied by key terms and principals. The major areas dealt with are property insurance coverages, general liability insurance coverages, workers' compensation insurance, and others. Within the context of these major coverages, areas of importance such as named insureds and additional insureds; waiver of subrogation; plus other areas of common misunderstanding or question are discussed.

The attendee will leave this seminar with a basic understanding of the structure of the common, standard insurance coverages, their function and those areas of coverage which are often confusing or misunderstood.

Insurance 102: Insurance for Administrators and Project Managers

This seminar builds upon a basic knowledge of the fundamental insurance coverages. It is designed for those who may have primary responsibility for securing and monitoring insurance.

Topics like the relationship between hold harmless and contractual insurance and general liability will be discussed. Certificates of insurance, what they are, what they do, and how to read them, will also be featured.

Several other areas for thought and discussion as well as materials to help do a review of the insurance considerations with respect to leases, deeds of trust, construction contracts, etc., will be touched on in this seminar.

Claims 101: Demystifying the Claims Process

Claims 101: Demystifying the Claims Process is intended for those individuals who want a greater understanding of the claims process. Have you ever wondered if the ads about insurance company adjusters are really true? Or why some claims are paid and others are not? Maybe you’ve had a personal experience with a claim and you still don’t understand what the adjuster did. This course will help to unmask the claims process and provide the attendee with a basic understanding of common claims terms, concepts and procedures used by the insurance company from the time they are notified of a claim to its resolution.

Customized Insurance Classes

We can work with our clients to develop a class to address a topic(s) of interest suited to their organization's needs and objectives. These often revolve around topics such as certificates of insurance; contract, lease or loan insurance requirements and other topics. Classes can be tailored to each organization by using their own contracts, leases, or other insurance specific information. Classes can also look at problems and issues which arise in negotiation and confirmation of coverage, as well as solutions/alternatives.

These classes may be more beneficial for participants if they have attended our 101 and 102 general classes. The duration of the classes will vary depending on the breadth and detail of topics to be covered.
