Hot Topic Sessions
Hot Topic: Five Questions to Ask Before Switching Insurance Companies - INS205
Wednesday, 9:00 am - 10:30 pm Room: OCCC-304E
The Federal government's huge loan to AIG has led many corporate policyholders to take stock of their insurance portfolios and consider changing insurance companies on one or more lines of coverage. While re-examining existing insurance at this point is a matter of due diligence, risk managers should recognize that the decision to switch insurance companies—or stay put—should not be made purely on the bases of price and financial strength. Attractively priced insurance from solvent carriers will not meet the policyholder's needs if it does not pay claims. This panel will examine issues that must be considered if the insurance portfolio is to work as planned, including limits, additional layers, claims handling history, mandatory policy clauses, pre-existing conditions and the pitfalls of a new application process.

Hot Topic: Insurance Coverage for Subprime Mortgage Lawsuits - INS206
Wednesday, 10:45 pm - 12:15 pm Room: OCCC-204A
Lawsuits have begun against investment banks, investment advisors, banks, mortgage companies and nearly everyone involved in the securitization of mortgages. Many of those lawsuits may be covered under standard insurance policies already purchased prior to the financial crisis, including D&O, E&O, fiduciary liability insurance or financial institution (FI) bonds. Policyholders seeking protection under these policies need to be prepared to counter typical insurance industry defenses against coverage, including unilateral rescission, the bad acts exclusion and the insured vs. insured exclusion. Learn how these defenses can be effectively countered in many cases by the policyholder.
