• Professional and Pollution Exposures Faced by Contractors

A lot of material is covered in this fast-moving, two-hour session. Agents will be better prepared to analyze the risks presented by their contractor clients and know how to properly respond to their coverage needs and claim questions.

We will discuss some of the different types of items that are hoarder and the general issues they can cause. We will review actual insurance claims involving hoarders and discuss other possibilities that could lead to claims, whether damage to the property or from the property.

We will discuss how carriers can try to address the problem and discuss differences that make these unique claims handling situations.

ABEN - Gigs and Side Hustles - The Insurance Issues (131991)

Instructor: Rick Pitts

This seminar is a fast-paced look at the personal and commercial lines insurance issues that have been created in the gig economy. The first section of the seminar looks at standard definitions and characteristics of the sharing and the gig economy, chiefly by using examples. Of course, the behemoth in the group is Uber. It is also the paradigm for the gig and sharing economy. Private drivers use their own private vehicle to act like a taxi service. Apps such as Touro permit private drivers to use their vehicles for rental, much like Avis or Hertz. The sharing economy is not limited to vehicles, however. In a similar vein homeowners can use their residence as a hotel by renting it out for short periods of time via Airbnb or VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner).

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.
