Stop Wondering How Insurance Actually Works..

Companies routinely enter into multi-million dollar contracts that attempt to transfer risk through ​warranties and broad indemnity language but fail to consider how the insurance will work...

  • ​​​​Contract Negates Insurance
    Language is written such that contract restricts coverage available 
  • ​Inadequate Requirements
    Insurance requirements are not sufficient based on exposure created
  • ​Limitation of Liability
    Contracts attempt to limit the liability to contract value and not exposure created​
  • ​Key Coverage Exclusions
    Policy exclusions result in insurance not responding when needed

    You don't require prior insurance expertise to improve the insurability of your contracts. In a matter of minutes and with minor contract adjustments, you could potentially avoid millions of dollars in uninsured losses.

How Effective Is Your Contract Management Process?


  • ​​​​​
    ​We understand the exposures, indemnities, and obligations created by the contracts we enter?
  • ​​We review insurance policies to validate there are no exclusions or language that may negate coverage required via contract?
  • ​We maintain a unique set of insurance requirements for different third-party types based on contractual exposure?
  • ​We actively monitor and track third-party insurance and validate that coverage required via contract is maintained upon expiry​
  • ​We review the indemnity within each contract and ensure adequate insurance is required to fund contractual liabilities

The Silent Party To Your Agreements

Contracts outline the services to be performed and then insert warranty and indemnity language that is extremely broad. Once the language is agreed to in writing, it obligates the parties to pay the expenses associated with any default – whether insured or not. While many believe their insurance will cover any financial loss, this is often not the case. ​

​In our experience, contracts are generally drafted between the two parties entering the contract and do not consider the insurance carrier – the one who is expected to pay the claim.

​Without aligning your contracts with the insurance policy language, you may unknowingly be voiding coverage, agreeing to items that are not insured, or in some cases, uninsurable. This can create significant balance sheet risk or the potential for legal disputes over who is responsible for contractual items that fall into this insurance void.
