50 Tips That Every Risk Professional Wants to Know

 

Presented by: Steven Brower and Paul Vogelgesang

Fresh from their standing room only presentation at RIMS-Philadelphia, hear tips that will interest even the most experienced risk professionals. Our speakers will challenge how you handle your claims and insurance purchases. From a litigation attorney with thirty years of experience representing insurers and policyholders and a risk manager with twenty-five years of experience, find the answers to these questions: What coverage applies to product extortion? What risks are not covered by business interruption? How do you persuade carriers to pay claims? How do you avoid making common (and uncommon) mistakes that can lose coverage? Why are certificates of insurance often worthless? What is the proper role of brokers in claims handling for major liability claims?
