SPECIAL FEATURE
Tomorrow! Is Your Website Doing More Harm Than Good?
 An installment of the Big "I" Professional Liability/Swiss Re Corporate Solutions quarterly risk management webinar series-Is Your Website Doing More Harm than Good?-was one of the most-attended sessions to date.
Due to its popularity, and because insurance agency website content continues to plague agency owners during errors & omissions claims, Big "I" Professional Liability and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions will rebroadcast the webinar on Wednesday, May 29 at 2 p.m. ET.
Websites and online marketing materials, such as mission and vision statements, are turning insignificant events into significant E&O claims due to the language used on agency websites. During the webinar, panelists will provide you with a number of dos and don'ts to help reduce your website risk exposure.
Panelists include Angelynn Heavener, principal, Insurance Training Plus, Inc., and Rick Oldenettel, Esq., Oldenettel & Long, as well as Swiss Re staffers Annette Ardler, senior underwriter, vice president, and Ellen McCarthy, claims expert, vice president.
Register for this complimentary session today.

NEW Risk Management Webinar Rebroadcast - May 29
Big "I" Professional Liability
|
Is Your Website Doing More Harm than Good? was one of Big "I" Professional Liability's best-attended sessions in recent years. Due to its popularity, and because insurance agency website content continues to plague agency owners during errors & omissions claims, Big "I" Professional Liability and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions will rebroadcast Is Your Website Doing More Harm than Good? on Wednesday, May 29 at 2 p.m. ET.
Websites and other online marketing materials, including mission and vision statements, are turning insignificant events into significant E&O claims due to the language used on agency websites. For example, terms and phrases such as "experts" and "we will address all your insurance needs" can increase the standard of care an agency owes to a customer.
