Insurance agents do a bad job of explaining the concept of "replacement cost." We tend to tell clients they will get new stuff for old junk and while that may be partially true, partial truths get you sued.

One roadblock to replacement cost is building codes or what we insurance practitioners refer to as ordinances or laws. Unendorsed policies offer only a VERY limited amount of coverage for the increased costs to rebuild due to these ordinances or laws, and when your insured is forced to pay these additional costs out-of-pocket, they are going to be mad!

Trucking coverage and Motor Carrier coverage are very similar, but each is designed for different types of risks and somewhat different operations. This session focuses on the similarities of these coverage forms as well as the differences between them.

Primary vs. excess coverage is unique in trucking and motor carrier coverages because a contract can change the “natural order" of the policy. Which policy is primary and which is excess? It depends. And this can be different for the trailer. A key section of this class details primary vs. excess coverage.

What about the MCS-90? What does this endorsement do when it is attached to the policy? Many agents just throw it in without considering the ramifications. That's…bad. Learn the purpose and effect of the MCS-90.

Without using hyperbole, thousands of certificates of insurance (COIs) are issued every day; and, again without hyperbole, most of them are issued improperly. In fact, your agency may have issued an improper certificate as recently as this morning.

What is it about COIs that can get an agency in trouble? If there were just one or two things, it would make your job a whole lot easier, but in reality, there are about 27 different ways a COI can get you in trouble. OK, so 27 isn't an exact number, but you get the idea. A "simple" COI is a potentially dangerous weapon that can be used against your agency.

Eleven years have passed since ISO promulgated major changes to the Homeowners' program. There have been several reactive changes during this period, but in 2022, ISO introduced a multistate/nationwide filing that results in several major changes to the HO program.

Many of the changes in this new filing are the direct result of the work done by the Big 'I' Technical Affairs Committee (TAC).

In this session, the Virtual University highlights and details what you can expect from this long-awaited filing. Don't be caught unprepared when your carriers adopt this form. You WILL want to know what has changed and what options are now available for your insureds.

Insurance agents do a bad job of explaining the concept of "replacement cost." We tend to tell clients they will get new stuff for old junk and while that may be partially true, partial truths get you sued.

One roadblock to replacement cost is building codes or what we insurance practitioners refer to as ordinances or laws. Unendorsed policies offer only a VERY limited amount of coverage for the increased costs to rebuild due to these ordinances or laws, and when your insured is forced to pay these additional costs out-of-pocket, they are going to be mad!

Trucking coverage and Motor Carrier coverage are very similar, but each is designed for different types of risks and somewhat different operations. This session focuses on the similarities of these coverage forms as well as the differences between them.

Primary vs. excess coverage is unique in trucking and motor carrier coverages because a contract can change the “natural order" of the policy. Which policy is primary and which is excess? It depends. And this can be different for the trailer. A key section of this class details primary vs. excess coverage.

What about the MCS-90? What does this endorsement do when it is attached to the policy? Many agents just throw it in without considering the ramifications. That's…bad. Learn the purpose and effect of the MCS-90.

Without using hyperbole, thousands of certificates of insurance (COIs) are issued every day; and, again without hyperbole, most of them are issued improperly. In fact, your agency may have issued an improper certificate as recently as this morning.

What is it about COIs that can get an agency in trouble? If there were just one or two things, it would make your job a whole lot easier, but in reality, there are about 27 different ways a COI can get you in trouble. OK, so 27 isn't an exact number, but you get the idea. A "simple" COI is a potentially dangerous weapon that can be used against your agency.

Insurance agents do a bad job of explaining the concept of "replacement cost." We tend to tell clients they will get new stuff for old junk and while that may be partially true, partial truths get you sued.

One roadblock to replacement cost is building codes or what we insurance practitioners refer to as ordinances or laws. Unendorsed policies offer only a VERY limited amount of coverage for the increased costs to rebuild due to these ordinances or laws, and when your insured is forced to pay these additional costs out-of-pocket, they are going to be mad!

Trucking coverage and Motor Carrier coverage are very similar, but each is designed for different types of risks and somewhat different operations. This session focuses on the similarities of these coverage forms as well as the differences between them.

Primary vs. excess coverage is unique in trucking and motor carrier coverages because a contract can change the “natural order" of the policy. Which policy is primary and which is excess? It depends. And this can be different for the trailer. A key section of this class details primary vs. excess coverage.

What about the MCS-90? What does this endorsement do when it is attached to the policy? Many agents just throw it in without considering the ramifications. That's…bad. Learn the purpose and effect of the MCS-90.

Without using hyperbole, thousands of certificates of insurance (COIs) are issued every day; and, again without hyperbole, most of them are issued improperly. In fact, your agency may have issued an improper certificate as recently as this morning.

What is it about COIs that can get an agency in trouble? If there were just one or two things, it would make your job a whole lot easier, but in reality, there are about 27 different ways a COI can get you in trouble. OK, so 27 isn't an exact number, but you get the idea. A "simple" COI is a potentially dangerous weapon that can be used against your agency.

Your instructor for this webinar is Big 'I' Executive Director of Risk Management & Education, Christopher J. Boggs, CPCU, ARM, ALCM, LPCS, AAI, APA, CWCA, CRIS, AINS

Eleven years have passed since ISO promulgated major changes to the Homeowners' program. There have been several reactive changes during this period, but in 2022, ISO introduced a multistate/nationwide filing that results in several major changes to the HO program.

Many of the changes in this new filing are the direct result of the work done by the Big 'I' Technical Affairs Committee (TAC).

In this session, the Virtual University highlights and details what you can expect from this long-awaited filing. Don't be caught unprepared when your carriers adopt this form. You WILL want to know what has changed and what options are now available for your insureds.
