Webinar Description:
With the wildfires in California fresh on risk manager's minds, RIMS held a webinar exploring how a company's property policy may respond in times of catastrophic loss. Led by seasoned professionals in the areas of property damage and business interruption coverage, claims and recovery, this webinar
explored the coverage and valuation challenges that many risk managers experience when faced with a complex loss that directly or indirectly impacts their operations. Based on years of handling hundreds of claims and coverage disputes, the panelists discussed recovery opportunities beyond the standard property and business interruption language.
This Webinar is FREE for RIMS members. Non-members can access the presentation for US $30.
