I am pleased to have
been invited to serve on the Executive
Council and Faculty for this year’s CLM Claims College – School of
Construction, which will be held at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront from
Wednesday, September 4, 2019 through Saturday, September 7, 2019.
As a result of my service I am able to offer scholarships (registration fee only) to industry professionals (insurance - risk, adjusters, claims, etc. and corporate) interested in attending. Please e-mail me by if you would like to take advantage of the free registration scholarship offered by CLM.
The education of claims resolution
professionals is important to the CLM. That’s why CLM established the Claims
College in 2012 and enlisted some of the industry’s best professionals to
create and teach courses. Since its inception, hundreds of students have
attended the Claims College and nearly 300 have earned their CCP (Certified
Claims Professional) designation.
The College presents courses in
eight three-level specialty schools and three one-level schools with more on
the horizon. Schools include: Casualty Claims, Claims Mediation, Construction,
Cyber Claims, Extra-Contractual Claims, Insurance Fraud, Leadership,
Professional Lines, Property Claims, Transportation, and Workers Compensation.
Students must pass all three levels of a school to earn their CCP. Each level
consists of reading materials, in-class instruction, group projects,
and an exam.
Construction claims present
complexities in claim handling, are often multiparty cases with cross claims
and third-party claims between and among the numerous defendants, intertwined
with issues involving insurance coverage. The stakes for these types of cases
are high as the damages claimed 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. The construction claims world is an
unfriendly place for the claims professional who has not been properly trained and
exposed to these issues.
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.
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 45,000 Members and
Fellows—a number that grows by hundreds each month.
