“The CPIA program presents a systematic approach to running your agency—and when applied, gets all of your employees on the same page with regards to what your strengths are, how to avoid error and omissions, how to handle your claims, what process to take to handle your renewal business, how to make ethical decisions and how to handle complaints.” —David L. Sidle II, CIC, CPIA
President-David L. Sidle Agency, Inc., Watkins Glen, NY
The Certified Professional Insurance Agent designation stands for professionalism in an ever-changing industry.

Level: Intermediate, designed for Brokers (agents), CSRs and Risk Managers
Additional Insured status and certificate transactions cause many errors and omissions claims against agents. When an insured fails to secure the requested additional insured status per a contract executed with a third-party there is a breach of contract. Named insureds often try to blame the agent for failing to meet the terms of the contract and sometimes the party expecting additional insured status sues the agent directly as a third-party beneficiary claiming the agent had a duty to protect them based on the agent's knowledge of the relationship between the named insured and third-party.
Don't miss this informative Webinar, where you will:
Learn about the traps in the various Additional Insured endorsement forms,
Acknowledging action taken in adding a third-party as an Additional Insured,
Proper use/completion of the Certificate of Liability Insurance and
Review the new ACORD Certificate of Liability form.
This knowledge will assist in developing a procedure to protect the agency, named insured and third-party to avoid errors and omissions and provide the proper service. It will also reinforce the coverage issues related to Additional Insured status.
