Underinsurance can affect any organisation, and you may not know you are underinsured until you need to make a claim. In many cases it happens when valuations are out of date or incorrectly calculated, or recovery time from business interruption is underestimated.
Could your business afford to meet a substantial shortfall if an insurance pay-out turned out to be lower than expected? For some businesses the consequences of underinsurance may be a short-term financial headache, while for others it could severely affect their ability to carry on trading.
In this webinar we explore common areas of commercial underinsurance and the pitfalls of inadequate cover. We also discuss ways to help protect your organisation and how an insurance review can identify any potential problem areas before they become an issue.
Your host, Christian Kaye, will be joined by David Reed from Zurich and Chris Hughes from AVIVA, as well as Robin Darby from Gallagher’s claims management team, who will discuss several claims examples from companies who have found themselves to be underinsured.
Our panellists will discuss:
- Ten common reasons an organisation can be underinsured
- The potential consequences of underinsurance, including the average clause
- How to determine if your organisation is underinsured
- Business Interruption Insurance and how to ensure sufficient cover
- Underinsurance case study examples
Who should attend?
Anyone who is responsible for purchasing insurance for their organisation.
