Maximizing Insurance Assets

To make sure that a company has access to all of its insurance assets, company executives should carry out the following steps.

  • Keep a historical log of all liability insurance policies.
  • Work with the company's insurance broker to keep secure and comprehensive records of insurance coverage.
  • Report claims promptly to all insurance carriers who might conceivably have coverage.
  • Notify all excess and umbrella insurers.
  • Engage an "insurance archaeologist" if the stakes are high and the company needs to verify evidence of old insurance policies and coverage terms.
