Personal and Advertising Injury Primer
Coverage Part B of the CGL is often overlooked. The focus seems to be on Bodily Injury and Property Damage (Coverage Part A); however, personal and advertising injury is an exposure every insured must consider. This primer allows agents to be prepared for this important conversation.
Contractual Risk Transfer Can Take Over and Ruin Your Day
Contractual risk transfer is a fact of life for any agent working with construction clients. Your client might be the transferor or the transferee or both on the same job. Because insurance is a slave to the contract, you have to understand contractual risk transfer.
Why Defining Actual Cash Value is Amazingly Difficult
The concept of actual cash value (ACV) is far more complicated than “replacement cost minus physical depreciation.” In fact, the meaning of replacement cost differs based on the state. To further complicate the “problem” with defining ACV is whether or not labor is depreciable. Again, the answer differs based on the state in which the property is located.
“Leaseback” of a Personally-Owned Auto Done Right
Personally-owned autos belong on a personal auto policy (PAP), but occasionally a commercial insured intentionally or unintentionally includes one or several personally-owned auto(s) on its business auto policy (BAP). Commercial clients may do this for one of many reasons; but when a commercial client intentionally or unintentionally includes a personally-owned auto on the BAP, the agent must ascertain the legitimacy of the vehicle’s inclusion on the BAP. The primary goal of this article is to allow agents to answer the question, “When is the inclusion of a personally-owned auto on the BAP legitimate and proper?”
“Workcation” and Work Comp
The employee decides to take his or her work “on the road” now that they are allowed to work from home – or anywhere. When the employee takes a “workcation” away from their residence, are any workers’ compensation issues created?
Condo Laws
Need help finding the condominium laws of each state? This reference gives you the condominium law, the horizontal property law, the common ownership law, or whatever it is called of every state. Useful – and needed - whether you insure the association or the unit owner.
