WASHINGTON, April 29, 2020 — Join expert panelists as they examine the types of claims anticipated as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic and whether those claims are properly payable under insurance contracts during an American Bar Association-sponsored webinar titled “When the Second Shoe Drops: COVID-19 Losses and Reinsurance” on Friday, May 8, from 1-2 p.m. EDT.
The webinar, co-sponsored by the ABA Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section and the ABACLE, will present a roundtable discussion about what claims can be expected and how buyers and sellers of reinsurance expect to address COVID-19 claims as they arise. The program will provide:
- An understanding of the broad scope of potential claims arising from COVID-19
- Information about what reinsurers expect from their reinsured in presenting COVID-19 claims for payment
- The legal issues likely to arise when claims are presented to reinsurers for payment
