Breakfast and Keynote
September 05, 2019 7:30 AM ETWe live in a world of accelerating change today. Evidence abounds all around us: take as a single example the shift from paper maps to real-time GPS on your mobile phone that has occurred over the past decade. Insurance is not immune: long resistant to change by design, the recent rise of insurtech holds the promise of a radically different future. While entrepreneurs and technologists are seeking to change insurance from the outside, industry professionals are also seeking to shape the future from within. Come learn from innovation expert and author Rob Galbraith why we are on the cusp of the end of insurance as we know it and how investing in your professional education is the best way to prepare yourself for what’s to come.
Back to topFirst and Third Party Extra-Contractual Claims
September 05, 2019 8:50 AM ETAn insurer’s duty of good faith and fair dealing is implied in every insurance policy. A first party extra contractual claim arises when a policyholder alleges the insurer has not acted in good faith in the handling of the insurance claim and involves damages in addition to or outside, the contract of insurance. A third party extra contractual claim is one brought against the insurer by someone other than the named insured for the same type of damages. This course will enable the student to understand when and how extra contractual claims arise, good claims handling to avoid extra contractual claims, how the courts and/or state statutes define good claims handling and the damages recoverable in extracontractual claims. It will also guide the student in understanding that third party extracontractual damages can be recovered in a roundabout way where no direct action is allowed.
