October 31st- Disaster Recovery- 

Counsel’s Role in Securing Insurance Recoveries for Hurricane Losses

 The program will discuss the important role that legal counsel plays in pursuing recoveries for large and complex insurance claims resulting from Hurricanes.  While insurance risk management may not ordinarily be handled by counsel,  when large losses are suffered  legal advice and participation are important at various stages of the claim  process, including the interpretation of insurance contracts, the identification of potential coverage issues, and the development and pursuit of strategies for driving a claim to a prompt recovery. The program will provide and discuss a checklist of important tasks requiring counsel’s participation, and address important  coverage issues,  such as whether a loss falls within exclusions or low limits for flood damage.

Speaker: Finley Harckham
