Follow the Roadmap

Education is both your best hedge against a soft market and an insurance professional's greatest asset. Although you cannot predict the future of the market, you can be prepared for opportunities that come your way—opportunities such as CIC Commercial Casualty Institutes.

Economic worries and competitive pressure are key business challenges in today's market. Staying competitive may be your key to personal sustainability.

Keeping motivated and up to date with industry trends and policy revisions through training is essential. So is protecting your clients' exposures. Unplanned exposures lead to unexpected E&O losses—but how can you stay ahead of the curve and know what the latest policy revisions are?

You can learn how to best protect and serve your commercial clients by following a CIC Commercial Casualty "roadmap." Education brings direct benefits to agents and can be calculated as a return on investment.

In this Institute you will:

• Learn what liability exposures exist in the areas of premises, operations, products and completed operations, and personal and advertising injury liability. Understand important legal concepts and how they correlate with CGL coverage. Determine what coverage the CGL provides, who is insured, what is excluded, how the limits apply and be able to identify appropriate CGL endorsements.
• Explore the reasons for additional insured status and what problems may be created by adding an additional insured. The purpose, coverage and limitations of the more commonly used additional insured endorsements will be explained. Waivers of subrogation and the impact of the “Other Insurance” policy condition will also be addressed.
• Identify the major coverages and exposures related to various uses of “covered autos” (owned, nonowned and hired). Determine “who is as an insured”, what exclusions apply, the gaps of coverage, and some endorsements that modify the Business Auto Coverage Form.
