Case Law & Insurance Contracts 

FREE Continuing Education Course for Insurance Professionals

This course takes us into the courtroom and shows the process judges and juries use to determine whether a complaint is legitimate, or whether to support an insurance company's denial of a claim. We discuss the importance of policy language, and definitions of key terms and phrases. We explain the Plain Meaning Rule and the Special Meaning Rule. We discuss the importance of "intent" and "perspective," as they play roles in the court's ultimate rulings. Case studies are provided to expound upon each point raised in the course.
