Inside Insurance & Risk Transfer

Explore the complete family.

Insurance disputes are arguments about where commercial loss was supposed to land. Coverage begins with the insuring grant—not with the exclusion. A strong underlying claim can become a weak insurance claim if notification architecture fails. One catastrophe can be many claims—or many claims can become one occurrence. Business interruption is a counterfactual: what would the business have earned if the insured event had not happened? Management liability disputes sit between corporate governance, investigations, indemnification and insurance. Professional indemnity disputes ask two questions at once: was there liability, and does the policy respond? A cyber claim can trigger incident response, BI, privacy, extortion and third-party liability at the same time. Project insurance disputes sit on top of the same delay, defect and causation facts as the underlying project dispute. Reinsurance asks whether the insurer's loss can move one layer further up the risk-transfer chain. Insurance payment changes who carries the economic loss—but not automatically the facts needed to recover it. Gross loss, covered loss, insurer payment and net enterprise exposure are four different numbers. Coverage settlement should solve the insurance dispute without damaging the underlying claim. Winning the coverage dispute does not itself collect the insurance money. An enterprise should manage insurance claims as a portfolio of retained risk, coverage, cash and recovery.
