Dave Dybdahl of ARMR Network discusses liability insurance policies and what restoration contractors should be aware of when doing structural cleaning during the coronavirus pandemic.
There is no doubt that the hardest line of business to write going into 2020 is Commercial Auto. For years, insurance carriers underpriced auto premiums and it caught up to them, resulting in auto being unprofitable for many carriers.
What is the extent of the reach of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and the liability exposure of individual professionals? Historically there has been a separation between agents of an organization and the company which holds the contractual relationship with its customer.
I was recently chatting with a restorer and trying to explain why his insurance needed to be customized to cover the risks he faced in doing work assigned under master services agreements.
Managing the risks associated with master services agreements with insurance companies for remediation services requires attention to detail when reviewing the contract. If a restorer misses a detail in the contract, the indemnity agreement in these contracts can leave the restorer in the position of being the insurance company of a big insurance company.
