Part Two: You’ve Submitted Your Claim—Now What?
Strategies for Maximizing Insurance Coverage

In the wake of weeks of shuttered businesses, mounting lost revenue, extra expenses, and cancelled events, policyholders who have submitted claims for insurance coverage for these devastating losses are beginning to receive responses from insurance carriers. How a policyholder responds to these insurer communications will set the stage for whether coverage is ultimately paid out. Critically, there are fast-moving and evolving developments that policyholders must consider in responding to insurer communications. These developments include the lessons learned from numerous COVID-19 insurance litigations already filed across the country as well as insurance-specific legislation being introduced in multiple states and at the federal level.  

The webinar will address best practices for handling your COVID-19 insurance claim and the very latest update on litigations and legislation that may affect the scope of insurance coverage for COVID-19 losses. 

The interactive educational webinar will cover issues including:

Responses Policyholders Are Receiving to COVID-19 Claims Submission

Best Practices for Responding to Requests for Information and Denials

Update on Insurance Coverage Litigations Filed - Claims Asserted, Merits and Potential Traps for the Unwary

Latest Update on Legislation Introduced and Orders from the California Insurance Commissioner Regarding Insurance for COVID-19 Losses
