The recent spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease known as COVID-19, has and will cause disruption to businesses and communities and take a significant human toll.  The problems highlighted by the spread of SARS-CoV-2 provide a model to illustrate difficulties in the defense of liability claims and insurance issues in the context of new types of losses.  Policyholders who have claims made against them and submit mundane insurance claims often end up meeting frustration in a process foreign to them.

This webinar will focus on D&O and securities claims, business interruption and business income losses and the impact on claims handling and the rise of bankruptcy claims that may arise from the loss of businesses.  Our broker panel will discuss the “new norm” and what they are seeing in today’s market.
