Many fail to realize that insurance is purchased as a final safeguard of liability and that the costs of this protection is calculated on individual claims and societies rising expectation for compensation for harm. Regrettably, claims are often generated from poor or inadequate performance by the insurance holder that could have been avoided by simple observation and corrective action – Risk Management. This workshop will explore proven strategies and tools that have been used during past municipal litigation to protect from significant claims of fault and liability. Participants will leave having conducted a self-directed operational assessment of their current level of risk reduction commitment when compared to today’s industry standards and court expectations.
