Two Wheels, Unique Challenges: Navigating Liability & Quantum in Motorcycle Claims

Introduction

This virtual classroom seminar will focus on the particular liability, contributory negligence and quantum issues that commonly arise in motorcycle claims and the particular losses that may need to be addressed when valuing a claim.

Using real-life examples, case studies and a hypothetical Schedule of Loss, the live session will provide practical guidance to help practitioners approach motorcycle claims with greater confidence.
