An overview of commercial package insurance

  • Tue 21 May 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
  • Zoom- Webinar
    • Alan Chandler

This webinar will provide a practical look into the various sections of a typical commercial package insurance policy, what is covered and what protection a commercial customer actually obtains, so that brokers, underwriters and claims staff alike can be confident when explaining the different sections of cover. The reality is, that many commercial customers do not always appreciate the breadth of their cover, and as such the discussion tends to too often focus on price rather than cover and quality. This webinar will look to put the onus back on the essentials of cover and quality so that customers can make informed decisions. The presentation will be provided by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular speakers within the UK, and Alan in his usual plain English style will outline the main areas of cover, the history of package insurance and how sums insured should be correctly set. The webinar will be suitable for anyone working with commercial package insurance be they brokers, underwriters or claims staff.

We will learn how to explain the law in a simple and clear way and how to apply the case law to real-life scenarios. Areas that we will examine include: Negligence: the duty of care, breach of duty, causation and remoteness Occupiers’ liability Employers’ liability General defenses and remedies in the law of torts.

If Professional indemnity isn’t something that you deal with frequently, it can be quite difficult to get your head around the core mechanics of how these policies work. In this course, we will be exploring how a business can be professionally liable before we understand the different policies that are available.
