    Join Manny Fishman in the second of two podcasts on Insurance for real estate professionals.  This podcast focuses on the claims process – what duty does the insurance carrier have at that point and how does the insurance company’s duty to defend differ from the insurance company’s duty to indemnify against an actual loss.  We also discuss the scope of an insurance company’s duty to select counsel acceptable to an insured.  Finally, we review the services Buchalter’s insurance practices group offers to clients.  Manny Fishman is joined by Nick Bates, of Alliant Insurance Services, and Buchalter’s insurance lawyers, Jeanine M.
