Because they can fall off or run into each other and get hurt, you have them sign a liability release that says they will not sue the resort if they get hurt while snow-tubing. Is such a release sufficient? What if they claim the injury was due to the negligence of the resort? Will the liability release protect your company against litigation that could bankrupt the resort?arrow_forwardUninsured motorists face the burden of paying for accidents themselves if involved in an accident.

He/she calls to advise that the insurer wants to write-off the car because the estimated repair cost is greater than its "Red Book" actual cash value. Your insured feels that this is unfair and wants the vehicle to be repaired. What should you tell your insured? Losses are rarely settled according to the "Red Book" value, so you'll negotiate with the insurer for the vehicle to be repaired. Your insured is entitled to obtain an appraisal, for which the costs must be shared equally with the insurer. The insurer must comply with the wishes of your insured so legal action should be taken. You will try to have the insurer waive the deductible to help compensate for the claim being treated as a total loss.arrow_forward
