I am happy to have been asked to serve as an Executive Council
member and instructor at this year's CLM Claims College – School of Construction, to be held at the
Marriott Baltimore Waterfront in Baltimore, Maryland on Wednesday, September 5,
2018 through Saturday, September 8, 2018.
Overview of the 2018
School of Construction
Construction claims
present myriad complexities in claim handling. Construction defect
lawsuits are often multi-party cases with cross claims and third-party claims
between and among the numerous defendants. Insurance coverage is intertwined
and complex due to the interplay of primary, excess, wrap, and additional
insurers for the numerous defendants. All this is further complicated by
statutes and regulations, inconsistent case law and procedural peculiarities
throughout the United States. The economic stakes are high as the damages
claims can be in the multi-millions.
Competent construction claims
handling requires an understanding of the distinct legal and practical
issues between commercial and residential claims. This is no place for the
average adjuster and certainly no place for the adjuster who has not been
properly trained.
The School of Construction will
provide adjusters with the knowledge, tools, and understanding required to
navigate these complex claims. Professionals seeking to expand their knowledge
of construction risk concepts and seasoned professionals looking to move into
construction claims are encouraged to attend.
Upon satisfactory completion of
all three levels, graduates will receive the Certified Claims Professional
(CCP) in Construction designation.
About the Claims and
Litigation Management Alliance
The Claims and Litigation Management (CLM) Alliance is the
only national organization created to meet the needs of professionals in
the claims and litigation management industries. Founded in 2007, the CLM
currently has more than 30,000 Members and Fellows — a number that grows
by hundreds each month.
Scholarships Available
As an EC and instructor, I have
the ability to offer three scholarships (registration fee only) to industry
professionals (insurance - risk, adjusters, claims, etc. and corporate) to
attend Claims College. In order to attend, you need not to be a current
CLM Fellow – however you will need to register (at no cost) to receive the
scholarship. If you are interested in attending, please let me know by May
8th so that I can put you in touch with the proper person at the CLM
to register. I look forward to the event and hope that there are folks
out there interested in taking advantage of the scholarships.
