Medical marijuana, drones, unmanned vehicles, nanoparticles—the future is now, and agents need to understand the insurance issues involved in each of these exposures and more. Lyon will review cases across the country, and how the courts treat the insurability of medical marijuana—on a personal and business level. And, the success of Google’s self-driving fleet of autonomous cars may usher in a new reality soon. Who will be liable for accidents if there is no driver? Also, is there a drone in your insured’s future? Discover some of the surprising commercial uses of drones—even by insurance companies—and learn about insurance issues inherent in their use. Lastly, what are the insurance exposures of nanoparticles, given what little we know of their dangers?
