Faulty Work & Claims Reporting
I came across an interesting case that illustrates how critical it is to properly notice a “downstream party” of a claim (or potential claim) and require proof that notice was filed with their insurer.

A new development has occurred in the FACC cyber “fake-president fraud” case.
There are industries that entail managing insurance compliance among large numbers of vendors/contractors, which challenges even the most organized firm to manage the compliance properly. If done right, it’s a process which requires diligence and specialized knowledge: Each of these contractor relationships then generates a number of coverages, terms and back-and-forth communications. For these types of firms, the volume of data, communications and risks dictate a need for a robust and efficient compliance effort. Traditional insurance compliance for vendors, subcontractors and commercial tenants focuses on simply obtaining certificates of insurance (COIs) and calling that “protection”. Ostensibly, these COIs are proof of insurance; however, these are not by themselves good proof
Risk management is a specialized industry, so we always thought it would be best to grow our own associates, provide opportunities, teach them our way; farm our own talent, so to speak. To build up our firm for future generations, we’ve always thought it important to gather new talent as early as possible.
Situation A NY-based organization (acting as tax syndicator) with over 350 properties engaged us to review and modify the lender requirements and to ensure insurance compliance with the requirements from the various parties involved in a deal
Most small business owners have at least some knowledge of the risks they face. Likely their insurance broker has educated them on some basic coverage for workers compensation, property damage, and business interruption to name a few. But several other potential exposures exist that, if left unaddressed, can mean massive and unncessary risk for a small business. As a company grows, so too does its risk. Business owners therefore would be well served to understand exactly what risks they face, how their specific industry affects their situation, and what they can do about it. Never be blindsided by a seemingly unforeseen issue. Visualize worst case scenarios so you can
Soft cost, or delay in the project completion coverage has been a hot topic of discussion and concern recently due to the unique claims scenarios that occur during a construction phase of a project. At first glance, the term “soft costs” seems easy to explain. But it’s actually a more complex subject.
When most businesses think cyber crime, they imagine brute force threats from foreign agents or highly advanced hacker teams. Executives tend to think that external forces well beyond their control make up the vast majority of security loopholes.
Personal property is one of the most underrepresented and disregarded coverage extensions on a commecial property policy. That is, Business Personal Property (BPP) – the personal property owned by the entity that is the named insured on the policy. BPP covers a variety of items typically identified with being owned in relation to the premises identified on the declaration page of a policy. It is not usually intended to insure the personal property of a firm’s employees or guests. Over the course of the last fifteen years, there have been several key changes to significantly expand the definition of BPP in different ways. Always keep in mind that coverage
In our previous posts on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), we defined ERM and addressed how to set up the program and use it to assess and treat risks. We have come a long way! In this post, we evaluate the program. ERM is not a static program. An effective approach to evaluating and enhancing the performance is a three-part one: measure, monitor and, most importantly, evolve.
