Identifying, Avoiding, Mitigating, and Insuring Environmental Risk in Construction
Thursday, March 6 – 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM MST
As new property development is focused on the inner city, waterfront properties, and other historic industrial sites, routine contracting practices may yield environmental hazards. These exposures are not restricted to environmental contractors; GCs, CMs, trades, and Owners all have exposure. This session will explore and present how these issues can be identified and properly addressed during due diligence, pre-construction, insurance, and contracting mechanisms.
True Excess Policy - Are Policyholders Stuck with Horizontal Exhaustion?
Friday, March 7 – 1:05 PM – 2:20 PM MST
This round table will explore the “true excess” argument raised by carriers in horizontal-exhaustion jurisdictions and discuss best practices for achieving primary and noncontributory coverage, despite this argument. The discussion will explore a variety of primary and noncontributory endorsements, and the various issues created for upstream parties. By tying these discussion points to real case examples, attendees will gain a deeper prospective of the various priority of coverage issues impacting excess policies.
