Insurance
issues are integrally, and intricately, involved in most casualty and cargo
cases. They are also critical to the
contractual drafting and contractual negotiations relating to such putative
liability. A working knowledge of, and
sound background in, the features and nuances of these policies, then, can greatly
aid the defense of cargo and/or casualty lawsuits, as well as assist in the
prosecution and management of cargo claims.
A thoughtful, well-drafted insurance clause in a contract might just
save your client a lot of potential liability, and its commensurate
headaches. This webinar will “walk
through” some of the most pertinent insurance-related features, clauses,
strategic decision points and legal authority that will help the practitioner
understand (and make use of) coverage aspects in cargo and casualty
litigation. The speakers will discuss
the significance and use of the new ISO Motor Carrier Coverage Form, excess
insurance obligations and issues, the interrelationship between casualty/cargo
policies and other policies such as CGL and contingent liability policies, and
the statutory and regulatory requirements relating to coverage; and will
provide guidance for dealing with insureds and insurers in claims and coverage
situations. It will definitely help to
improve your practice and your clients’ prospects!
