CLM Bermuda Chapter November Roundtable Event
The Cost of Catastrophes: A Panel Perspective on Pollution Events
Please join the CLM Bermuda Chapter for a panel discussion of environmental claims that arise due to the time element provision of the current general liability policies written on the London and Bermuda forms. The panel will present the technical, legal, and coverage-related challenges prominent in the handling of these events, while also exploring the interaction of other policies such as property, business interruption, and D&O policies.
The discussion will include:
·         Items to address in the underwriting process
·         Technical issues to address in the underwriting and claims handling process
·         Coverage issues common to sudden and accidental releases
·         Legal considerations in the claims handling process
·         Cost categorization and allocation issues
·         Dispute resolution
·         A series of case studies examining the issues that arose and how they were handled in those actual claim scenarios
