| | Why waivers of subrogation are requested is a question that results in blank stares and shoulder shrugs. Risk managers want them because they were in the previous contract their company entered into. Subcontractors further down the food chain request them because somebody else required it as a condition to being awarded the contract. Owners and general contractors insist on them because they feel they are buying protection at some level, perhaps believing it will prevent the employees of subcontractors from suing them for injuries received on the project. Nobody knows why they are required beyond, “We’ve always done it that way.” |

| | Agents very rarely experience an employers’ liability claim; but this does not mean this important gap-filling coverage should not be understood. There are employee-related gaps in the commercial general liability (CGL) policy and the workers’ compensation (WC) policy that make this coverage a necessity. This primer allows a much clearer understanding of this important yet neglected coverage. |

| | Everyday agents are asked, well required, by banks to provide Coverage A limits in excess of the developed replacement cost. Why are such requests made? So that Coverage A limits match the loan requirements of course. Mortgagees tend to forget that the loan buys more than just the structure; it includes the land and location, location, location. The buyer/mortgagor is paying for the view and access to the office and shopping in addition to the house. The insurance policy only pays to replace the house. |

| | In many states, what is covered under an HO-6 and a condo association master policy is governed by state law. That may not be the case when there is a flood claim and federal law pre-empts state law. For example.... |

| | The NFIP has promulgated a new rating program for all flood policies – Risk Rating 2.0. The goal is to modernize flood rating using technology and history to develop somewhat customized premiums. There are major changes, a new world to which those seasoned in flood rating must adjust! |

| | BOP policies are not “all that.” There are some gaps every agent must know and understand before settling on a BOP. |

| | |
| | Contractors’ Professional and Pollution Liability is the contractor’s coverage solution. Often referred to as either the Contractors Pollution and Professional Insurance, the Contractor’s Protective Professional Indemnity coverage, or simply “CPPI,” this multi-peril form specifically addresses and closes the majority of pollution and professional liability coverage gaps resulting from the limited breadth of protection provided by the CGL Coverage Part A. |
