WEBINAR | APRIL 21 | 3 CE Despite escalating punishments for offenders, claims fraud remains prevalent. Books of business managed by even the most exceptional insurance pros–people who wouldn’t break a rule under any circumstance–are not immune to insureds who, for whatever reason, choose to be dishonest. Through examples and case studies, attendees will learn best practices on dealing with fraudulent prospects, insureds, and claims.
WEBINAR | APRIL 23 | 3 CE Personal lines agents often don’t hear from claims personnel about the value of broadened coverage until the unfortunate reality of substandard coverage presents itself during the adjustment process. Veteran claims adjuster Nikki Sherrill created this program to help personal lines agents understand commonly overlooked policy limitations and methods to broaden coverage, which can save the insured (and agent!) from financial harm.
WEBINAR | APRIL 28 | 3 CE This course reviews many examples of situations agents face that may test ethical resolve and E&O management practices. Agents who take this course will learn some coverage lessons, better understand the critical functions of a successful agency operation, and be more prepared to handle difficult situations commonly faced by insurance agencies.
WEBINAR | APRIL 28 | 3 CE This course uses examples of several commercial property claims to illustrate how the policy may not function as expected by either the agent or the insured. Insurance pros who take this course will gain expertise in a variety of commercial property issues, including reconstruction costs, setting limits, insurance-to-value, tenant lease insurance requirements, and acts of civil authority.
