Webinar-at-a-Glance
Green building can present increased liability
exposures arising from factors such as the lack
of appropriate qualifications and experience of
contractors and subcontractors performing the work;
new and untested products, materials, and processes;
and heightened expectations on the part of the consumer.
As green building continues to grow, new exposures
will emerge as new technologies are developed. While
most exposures will be addressed by the traditional
commercial general liability (CGL) policy, these
exposures require a careful assessment of the insurance
coverage available to address both the traditional
and unique exposures presented by green building.
From a surety perspective, there are concerns about
certain contract provisions relating to green building
and the risk of inadvertently guaranteeing a specific
performance or effectiveness of green-specific issues
such as energy usage and LEED certification.
This webinar will explore coverage available under
traditional policies, what coverage gaps may result
from traditional coverage, key considerations when
selecting coverage, and a current insurance market
overview.
