About This Course
As the insurance industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, litigation involving uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage has grown increasingly complex. This CLE explores the shifting terrain of modern coverage disputes, examining everything from the legal uncertainties surrounding policy stacking to the insurance challenges presented by autonomous vehicles, rideshare platforms, and telematics-based underwriting. With growing exposure to claims tied to data privacy, automation, and ambiguous policy language, legal practitioners must be prepared to adapt.
Led by Cassie Ware Preston of Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani LLP, this session provides a practical and comprehensive overview of today’s most pressing coverage issues.
