CLAIM REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Always refer to your policy language for guidance Following is sample policy language for GL, D&O and Fiduciary EIM policies
EXCESS GENERAL LIABILITY (H) Notice of Claim As a condition precedent to any rights under this policy, the Insured shall give written notice of claim to the company of any claim against the Insured for an amount in excess of one-half of the amount listed as the attachment point in item 4 of the declarations. Such notice of claim shall be given as soon as practicable.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS (H) Notice of Claim As a condition precedent to any rights under this policy, the Directors, Officers and/or the Insured shall give a written notice of claim to the company of any claim which appears likely to exceed $1,000,000. Such notice of claim shall be given as soon as practicable.
EXCESS FIDUCIARY LIABILITY (I)Notice of Claim As a condition precedent to any rights under this policy, the insured Persons and/or the insured shall give written notice of claim to the company of any claim which appears likely to exceed $1,000,000. Such notice of claim shall be given as soon as practicable.
GENERAL PARTNERS LIABILITY (H) Notice of claim As a condition precedent to any rights under this policy, the General Partners and/or the Limited Partnership shall give a written notice of claim to the company of any claim which appears likely to exceed $1,000,000. Such notice of claim shall be given as soon as practicable.
PRACTICAL CLAIM REPORTING CONSIDERATIONS – GL There is generally no need to report minor incidents, especially those involving minor injuries, property damage, or as another example, discrimination alleged by one employee who is not highly compensated.
PRACTICAL CLAIMS REPORTING CONSIDERATIONS - GL As a practical matter, it is a good idea to report major catastrophic events, even though it is unclear whether exposure will reach one-half of underlying limits for a general liability situation.
PRACTICAL CLAIM REPORTING CONSIDERATION - GL Examples of types of claims to report include fires or explosions with multiple fatalities and/or serious injuries and/or extensive property damage. Ideally these incidents would be reported to EIM at the time of reporting to the underlying carrier.
PRACTICAL CLAIM REPORTING CONSIDERATIONS - GL If a claim is reported to EIM at a later time, at a point when a claim is made for one- half of the attachment point, there are certain issues that should be considered at the time of reporting, as they will bear on administrative and substantive handling.
EXAMPLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES Explosion occurs on 2/10/08. Written notice of occurrence is sent to Underlying Carrier A on 2/12/08, even though no claims have been made against the insured as yet. A letter of representation dated 6/18/08 is the first claim made against the insured. On 8/30/08, a demand is made for settlement in the amount of $40 million. On 9/5/08, the insured sends a copy of the demand letter to EIM due to the amount claimed, and stating this is notice to EIM. The current policy period is 4/10/08-4/10/09. The prior policy period is 4/10/07-4/10/08.
EXAMPLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES – GL – CONTINUED First, EIM needs to know the date the claim was first made against the insured to properly set up the claim administratively. So, a copy of the original letter of representation would be needed. Second, Underlying Carrier A will have the claim set up under the earlier policy year, due to the notice of occurrence being sent prior to the claim being first made. The claim will be set up under the later year at EIM, because notice to the Company (defined as EIM in the policy) was not given prior to the claim first being made against the insured, which happened in this example in the later policy year.
REPORTING A CLAIM AT A LATER DATE - GL We realize that there may be a variety of reasons you may not want to report a claim until it is clear that exposure will approach one-half of the attachment point. EIM will need to have certain information for both administrative (as in the prior example) and substantive reasons.
EXAMPLES OF ITEMS NEEDED IF REPORTING A CLAIM AT A LATER DATE - GL 1)The initial written notice of claim, be it a letter of representation, a lawsuit, or some other type of written demand. 2)Copies of past and current defense status reports, if applicable. 3)Factual investigation information. 4)Any evaluations of damages that have been completed. 5)Any amended complaints, pertinent motions, and orders issued, if the claim has been in litigation. 6)List is not meant to be exhaustive, but to give general guidance on items that should be sent to EIM with notice.
CLAIMS REPORTING – D&O, FIDUCIARY, GENERAL PARTNER These matters are generally reported immediately to EIM, and so we do not often run into the same issues as in a general liability claim that is reported after the claim has developed for a length of time. However, in the event a claim is reported later to EIM than to the underlying carrier, the same types of documents should be included with the notice as outlined in the GL presentation.
CLAIMS STATUS AND UPDATES Once a claim is reported, you should send periodic updates. If a claim is settled within underlying limits, please advise EIM so that we can close our claims file. If an incident was reported, but no claims were made as a result, please let us know so we can close our file.
CLAIMS STATUS AND UPDATES For claims that are Category 2 or Category 3, Baker & McKenzie works closely with EIM in monitoring developments. You will typically receive a letter asking that the monitoring attorney at the firm be copied on all status updates.
CLAIMS CLOSINGS After a claim is reported and there has been no further correspondence or update indicating exposure to EIM, you may receive a letter indicating EIM is closing its file. Immediately notify EIM if the claim has adversely developed such that the claim should be re- opened. Otherwise, the letter is for your information and records.
OTHER INFORMATION EIM does not have a claims staff other than me and Jane Murphy, who assists in claims administrative matters. All claims correspondence, including notices of new claims, should be directed to me. This presentation was designed to give a general overview and may not apply to all situations, since each claim is unique (especially when the EIM attachment point is involved). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about reporting, updates, or other claims matters. My number is
Thank you for your attention this morning and I hope you enjoy the remainder of this year’s meeting.
