Various Stages of liability Claims The Initial Act – Negligence or other legal wrongdoing The injury, loss or damage The Manifestation of the injury or the loss The policy holder’s awareness of injury or loss The claim against the policy holder The notification of the claim to the insurer The final Settlement of the Claim
22
Various Triggers the question are we at risk Acts Committed Occurrence Manifestation Claims Made
24
Scope of indemnity in time Triggers Focus – Claim Made According to the Claim Made principle, the cover is triggered when the injured party makes his / her claim for compensation against the insured The applicable cover is therefore the policy in force at this time
25
Scope of indemnity in time Triggers Focus – Claim Made Determining a specific event to a specific policy year is a tough task The right policy year determines: applicable cover, extent of financial indemnity and (MOST IMPORTANT) the liable insurer Unclear is very often the “occurrence” principle as it leads to the triple trigger problem
26
Scope of indemnity in time Triggers The Triple Trigger Problem Claims free policies will be triggered after a long time High sums. 10 year ongoing renewed and each year can be triggered Accumulation of one policy holder or an entire industry It is clear now: we have not charged the right premium Reserves? Do we have enough – obvioulsy not IBNR’s?
27
Scope of indemnity in time Triggers CM solves this problems Eliminates / restricts room for interpretation The event of trigger is brought into the present Insurer can react faster which allows Carrier to maintain capacity over longer periods Occ. based policies may be eroded over time Older, lower limits do not fit to today’s compensation payments
28
Scope of indemnity in time Triggers CM - Key Elements Retroactive Date Scope of indemnity in time Discovery period Claims series clause (batch clause)
29

33

35
Scope of indemnity in time Triggers Focus – Occurrence Principle The date of insured event: is the occurrence during the policy period Retro Date: Without time limit even when the act was committed prior to policy and loss was unknown at inception Series Clause: same as CM Limit: The limit of the year applicable at the time loss occurred, which may be too low or already eroded.
36
