WEBINAR: - How Liability can Arise in Tort

This event has been organised due to such high demand for the previous regional event it quickly sold out.

Please book your place well in advance to avoid further disappointment

We sell many different liability insurance policies to customers every day; Motor, Employers Liability, Public Liability, Products liability, D&O, Professional Indemnity, Cyber Liability and more - what are we protecting the customers against, well it is largely being protected against being sued in the law of tort. Therefore, brokers, underwriters and claims staff alike should understand the law of tort, as failure to understand this means protections may be inadequate and a fair presentation of risk may not occur.

This webinar, presented by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, will in Alan's usual plain English way provide an overview of the law of tort.

All the main torts will be explored: negligence, nuisance, trespass, defamation, strict liability, statutory liability, and vicarious liability. Alan will include the main case law that applies to each tort and importantly he will make this very practical by explaining how your customers could be sued in each one of these torts, with practical examples, so that a good understanding of these torts can be achieved resulting in better presentations of risk by brokers, and more accurate underwriting and claims handling by insurers.

This webinar will be suitable for brokers, underwriters and claims staff as well as anyone studying for MO5 insurance law.

Delegates will be able to:

• Understand how the law of tort applies to insurance covers.
• Understand the main principles and case law behind negligence, nuisance, trespass, defamation, strict liability, statutory liability, and vicarious liability.
• Be able to explain to policyholders how they could be sued in the law of tort.
