Does it seem that every time your client submits a claim to its general liability or director and officer liability carrier the claim is denied? Do you question why your client is even buying insurance in the first place? Presented by the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL), this webinar will help association attorneys uncover the mystery of insurance coverage, understand the nature and scope of the association’s insurance, and communicate with and educate clients. In addition, it will include case studies to illustrate how it plays out in the community association world.
Topics
- Why a community association needs liability insurance
- What is and isn't insurable
- Who defends and indemnifies the board, the association and the community manager
