Speaker: Lawrence Daniels, P.G.
The course will discuss various technical aspects of perchlorate, including how these relate to some of the issues commonly faced by claims analysts handling claims made on environmental/ pollution insurance policies including the review of costs submitted with respect to reasonableness and necessity, and applicable exclusions; the potential for bodily injury claims; issues regarding the source and timing of pollution that may affect coverage; occurrence vs. claims made policies and new vs. pre-existing conditions coverage considerations; the setting of reserves; and the possible use of structured settlements to resolve perchlorate-related claims, as the associated cleanups are often costly and long-tailed.
