Collisions between buses and other motor vehicles or pedestrians, are frequently deadly. With customary seven figure policy limits the stakes are high. Effective management of these kinds of cases requires a thorough understanding of the procedural and fact sensitive issues that are repeatedly confronted. This kind of an understanding lends itself to better practices in all motor vehicle litigation, and in all cases involving death or grave injury.
This presentation considers ten of the most recently reported decisions involving bus accident fatalities Each case has been chosen for addressing one or two main issues which frequently present themselves repeatedly to the professionals working in this field.
The cases are broken down into sections which provide a factual background, the key holding of the decision, the results of the decision, in addition, additional authority on the same issues is included at the case discussions end.
3. Additional Insured Considerations at the Claim Desk
Thorough understanding and good use of Additional Insured considerations provides superior results for clients, insureds and organizations. Securing Defense and Indemnification rights through insurance policies that have been purchased by other persons or entities, typically vendors, contractors or lessees, but which owe benefits to your principal can shift huge cost burdens away from them and protect them from exposure to damaging excess verdicts. Effective management of Additional Insured considerations involves not only understanding what your principal's rights are, but also managing the process that makes Additional Insured coverages available in the first place and securing those rights when they are needed. This presentation is intended to provide a background to this area, a starting point for fundamental research, then address a set of more difficult concerns that frequently raise themselves up in this area on the claim desk.
