An Introduction to Liability Insurance

The Insurance Institute of Sussex is continuing its occasional series of technical seminars by Ed Gooda, with two talks on Liability Insurance in early 2020.

In this first of two seminars, Ed will look at the basic principles of public, product and employers' liability policy wordings and the types of claims typically made under these policies as he explores why liability insurance is such an essential product.

This seminar is aimed specifically at insurers, brokers and MGAs who have an interest in achieving a basic understanding of liability underwriting and claims in the UK.
