The first 90 days of a claim can have a significant impact on how, and how quickly, it is ultimately resolved.
Join lawyers from Risk Management Counsel of Canada for a practical discussion on the decisions and actions that can put a claim on the right track from the outset. From gathering the right information and developing an early assessment of liability and damages to managing expectations and identifying opportunities for resolution, our panel will look at how claims professionals can use those critical first months effectively.
Topics will include:
- Early steps that move a file toward resolution – What information should you be gathering, and how can an early assessment help identify the best path forward?
- When to pay a claim – and when to hold the line – The factors to consider when deciding whether early settlement makes sense or whether a claim should be defended.
- What to communicate to insureds and other parties – How clear communication, early engagement and expectation management can help keep a claim moving.
- What not to put in your file – and why it matters later – How unsupported opinions, unverified information and premature conclusions can create problems if the file ends up in litigation.
Whether a claim resolves in 90 days or takes years, what happens at the beginning matters. This webinar will provide practical strategies for building a stronger file, making better-informed decisions and creating opportunities for earlier resolution.
