Why you need this course:
The elements of negligence are universal principles that can be used to examine any liability loss exposure or determine liability for any claim. Liability insurance helps protect a policyholder from the financial impact of these loss exposures. This course provides you with the sources of law that underlie legal liability in the U.S. From this foundation, liability loss exposures for negligence and other torts are determined. You will learn the types of damages that a policyholder may be required to pay and how liability insurance coverage helps defend the policyholder in related legal action.
