Paul White (Partner-Los Angeles) will present “COVID-19: A Status Report on Insurance Implications Arising from a Global Pandemic,” a webinar sponsored by the Brokers & Reinsurance Markets Association (BRMA) on July 17, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. This presentation follows up on Paul’s April 3, 2020, presentation in which he outlined the background of COVID-19 and the myriad insurance coverage issues arising from the spread of the disease. In a matter of months, COVID-19 has infected approximately 9.5 million people, killed almost 500,000, and crippled the global economy – resulting in losses expected to exceed the trillion-dollar mark. The impact on the insurance industry is unprecedented and has been felt worldwide, with policyholders seeking coverage under a variety of property, event cancellation and liability insurance policies. Paul will address the claims being submitted to insurers, the litigation arising from the spread of the disease, the global closures of businesses and legislative efforts to address pandemic coverage. Topics include the insurance product lines that COVID-19 impacts, the insurance coverage issues arising from COVID-19, and the divergence of views on coverage reflected by insurers, policyholders, legislators and departments of insurance.
