As veterans of the industry, we would all probably agree that the youth are the future of our industry. It is incumbent on all of us to encourage our young adults to pursue a very rewarding career in the insurance industry. I am honored again this year to present an E&O loss control class for the students of the Eastern Kentucky University Risk Management School and the members of the PIA of Kentucky. The session on March 24th (this Thursday) is on the campus in Richmond, Kentucky. My topic is “Key E&O Issues by Line of Business” with the inclusion of a number of E&O tips that every agency should implement. If you are interested, please contact PIA Kentucky at www.piaky.org.
On May 1st in Bismarck, North Dakota, I will be presenting along with Sean Marrin (Morley Law Firm – Grand Forks, ND) an E&O Mock Trial based on an actual E&O case that occurred a few years back. The fact pattern is interesting as it involves an agent reducing the building limit per the request of the building owner (allegedly). The agent has documentation in his file that speaks to the request but the building owner has no recollection of the request at all. Isn’t this the typical scenario? There will be testimony from the agent and the building owner and the conference attendees will be the jury. How did the case turn out? Find out by joining us and registering for the conference at www.piand.com.
