The California Department of Insurance continues to take the view that anyone involved in handling, adjusting, or settling claims on California risks, even on behalf of non-admitted London-based insurers, must receive annual training on California’s Fair Claims Practices regulations. 

All such adjusters must maintain records of receiving this training on an annual basis. 
 
This IUA session is designed to provide the required training, covering all aspects of the regulations, and will provide certification* confirming each individual’s attendance. 
Our guest speakers will provide insight on how regulations are utilized in day-to-day handling of California claims. 
 
Covering topics from tender to denial, our speakers will ensure that delegates have all the necessary deadlines to comply with the regulations and limit bad faith exposure. 
 
The session will additionally cover which rules change when there’s a natural disaster and what additional obligations are imposed on the insurers. Such changes can affect everything from underwriting to appraisal. 

Our guest speakers will use case studies to demonstrate how various aspects of the regulations are implemented and provide time to ask questions. 

Please note: *Certification for this event will be supplied directly from Wilson Elser via the IUA - this event does not qualify for CPD Accreditation. Delegates requesting certification will be forwarded a link, post-event.
