Florida Webinar: Claims Close Up | How to Avoid and Prevent Them!
2019-04-18 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | julia@mybetterrate.com
Please join us Thursday, April 18th at 11:00 am EDT for the next WFG Florida CE webinar, Claims Close Up, How to Avoid and Prevent Them, presented by Jeffrey Leung, WFG’s Senior Vice President, National Claims Manager.
One of the great ways to truly absorb the critical importance of effective title insurance underwriting is to understand the profound impact of the process upon the nature and number of title insurance claims underwriters handle each year. Through such an understanding, we become more attuned to the pitfalls, problem areas and hot topics that require special care and attention.
Through years as claims counsel and as one who has handled countless title insurance claims, Jeffrey Leung is in a unique position to explain this correlation. His observations, thoughts and comments will help you better understand the degree to which effective title insurance underwriting dramatically reduces loss that might otherwise be incurred, not only in terms of the payment of claims but, in addition, the high cost associated with claims administration.
In this webinar you will learn:
• The common areas for claims

• What can be done to avoid and prevent a claim

• How to prevent cyber-crime
