The March
2007 issue of The Risk Report examines
the risk manager's role before, during, and after litigation and trial occur.
Written by Kevin Quinley, it describes many areas where the risk manager needs
to be involved, including coordinating with general counsel, supervising cost
management, considering settlement options, avoiding surprises, and keeping
management apprised, among others.
The March 2007 issue of Captive Insurance Company
Reports (CICR) includes the following articles:
Reference Manuals
Commercial Auto Insurance addresses
the entire spectrum of ISO multistate
commercial auto endorsements, including 21 revised endorsements and 4 that
were newly introduced in 2006. This supplement also updates state-specific information
on a variety of topics (i.e., synopses
of state-specific amendatory endorsement provisions, cancellation
endorsement provisions, and a listing
of applicable endorsements and current edition dates of each).
Commercial Liability Insurance updates
the discussion of GCL Coverage A exclusions, adding new information to section
V.D on the exclusions that pertain to expected
or intended injury; property
damage to owned, rented, or occupied property; and aircraft,
autos, and watercraft. Additions to section
V.J explain how a federal appellate court has been called upon to give effect
to a fairly recent revision of the CGL "other insurance" condition--the provision
that makes the policy's coverage excess over other insurance the named insured
may have as an additional insured under another policy. This supplement also
contains new discussions of commercial umbrella endorsements in section
XI, including a section describing the three mandatory
umbrella endorsements, discussion of groups of umbrella endorsements treating
certain loss exposures (condominiums, terrorism,
and construction
risks), a brief discussion of the application
of state UM/UIM laws to commercial lines umbrellas, and several points to
keep in mind when assessing the steps that need to be taken to keep umbrella
placements in compliance.
Construction Risk Management updates
the workers
compensation laws section and portions of the general
liability insurance section. The
Construction
Risk Management Newsletterpresents an article illustrating how the
construction and insurance industries have adapted in response to the construction
defect litigation explosion of the past decade.
D&O MAPS has been expanded to include
the following policies and analyses:
Personal Risk Management and Insurance updates the annotated discussion of the homeowners insurance policy's insuring
agreement and definitions section with expanded analysis and the addition of over 65 pertinent caselaw
citations. In particular, more comprehensive discussions of various defined
terms such as "bodily injury," "business," "insured," "occurrence," and "property
damage" are included. The supplement also provides an extensive analysis about
properly insuring
home-based businesses. In addition, it updates several UM/UIM (Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, South
Carolina, and Virginia)
and no-fault state (Florida, Michigan,
and Minnesota)
pages.
