A.M. Best Co., publisher of Best's Review magazine, will present a Webcast entitled, "The Next Wave: Excess Casualty Markets Brace for 2010" on Friday, November 13, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST. Registration is free online at www.ambest.com/excesscasualty09.
The editors of Best's Review magazine will be joined by a panel of experts to discuss how commercial insurance entities can be susceptible to catastrophic liability and how that susceptibility can affect a company's prospects.
A carefully crafted and appropriately high tower of excess liability coverage remains the most effective way for companies to shield their assets and their shareholders against the potentially catastrophic financial impact of U.S. civil liability lawsuits. Purchasing catastrophic liability insurance is especially challenging in volatile economic times. Learn more about what you need to do to protect your company's assets, and find out about new, innovative excess casualty coverage and service solutions to help you address this risk.
Panelists will include:
--Jeremy Johnson, President of Cat Excess Liability, Chartis, Inc.
--David Bresnahan, EVP of Casualty, Programs and Healthcare divisions, Lexington Insurance
--Neal Glazer, Esq., Partner at D'Amato & Lynch, LLC
--Earl W. "Billy" Gunn, Esq., Partner at Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial, LLC
