The nemesis of most insurance companies is the natural disaster. Hurricanes and floods have enough destructive potential to put many insurance companies out of business. Rainstorms, hurricanes, windstorms, tornados, and the like, have traditionally been chalked up as “Acts of God”. With no obvious subrogation potential or third-party liability, these claim payments are seemingly money down the drain. However, tireless investigation, creativity, and research can reveal recovery potential in even the most tragic of 100-year storms.

This session focuses on how to investigate and ferret out third-party recovery potential where none seems to exist. Full of anecdotal information and insight from several multi-million-dollar recoveries involving flood losses, this session will train subrogation professionals on the basic laws involved, from premises liability, contract law, inverse condemnation, and strict liability. After Hurricane Katrina, the nation is on notice to be prepared for the worst. Failure to be prepared may lead to third-party potential. If liability is there, this course will help you find it. Attending this session will be beneficial for all adjusters, no matter the level of experience.
