    [REPLAY] Cyclones, Insurance & A Bowl of Spaghetti (Models)

    Welcome to "What's the Scenario? with PLRB", where we explore claims & coverage scenarios relevant to insurance professionals. I'm Brennan McLoughlin, and for this holiday week we'll be sharing a classic episode from the PLRB Weather team.   A CAT Manager is making preparations for her CAT team in advance of Hurricane Francine, which approached the Louisiana coast in the second week of September, 2024. She reads something about spaghetti models, and something about Fast Track cyclones?   Notable Timestamps [ 00:36 ] - The building owner submits the claim to their property insurer, looking for coverage for a new bollard. They have a standard CP 00 10 10 12, which does not include coverage for fences if the cause of loss was an accidental vehicle crash.  [ 01:21 ] - The PLRB team discuss pasta recipes. [ 02:47 ] - Hurricane Francine caused a great deal of damage to homeowners and businessowners by the Louisiana coast. [ 04:35 ] - Andrew shares some screenshots, available on the YouTube version of this podcast. [ 05:02 ] - An error cone is shown, demonstrating the suspected path of the hurricane. [ 05:28 ] - Spaghetti models show the various paths Francine might have taken. [ 05:46 ] - Peak storm surge forecasts color code area by feet of storm surge. [ 06:44 ] - The "Best Track" includes line, point data, and cumulative wind history. [ 07:20 ] - Spaghetti models are a forecasting tool that provides multiple expectant paths. Tracks closer together indicate certainty. These are available on PLRB.org or via API. [ 08:33 ] - Andrew demonstrates how spaghetti models can change over time. Error cones may be superimposed on the spaghetti models. [ 10:17 ] - Storm surge is the rise in seawater caused solely by the storm's winds pushing the water onto shore. Soup gets involved now. [ 11:15 ] - Best Track is a representation of the tropical cyclone's direction and intensity. The Best Track wind swath shows how the storm changed. [ 12:10 ] - Catastrophe Managers can use these forecasting tools in resource allocation. Best Track data can assist in estimating claim ratios. Claims Adjusters can use Best Track data to assist in claims decisions. Underwriters can use this historical data in risk assessment. [ 13:19 ] - Andrew provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

    Oops! Is a Contractor's Work Ever Really Done?

    A contractor was hired to renovate a kitchen. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, but asked for a few final punch-list items: adjusting the cabinet doors and replacing a damaged drawer pull. To reach the cabinets, the contractor moved the refrigerator, but failed to securely reconnect the ice maker supply line before leaving. Two days later, the homeowner discovered water throughout the kitchen and adjacent rooms after the line separated, damaging the newly renovated space and the surrounding flooring.   Notable Timestamps   [ 00:45 ] - Mike sets up today's scenario: a contractor's punch-list visit ends with a disconnected ice maker line and water damage throughout a newly renovated kitchen.   [ 05:08 ] - Brennan and Mike revisit the CGL's j(5) and j(6) exclusions, which apply only to ongoing operations on the particular part of the property being worked on -- not completed work.   [ 08:03 ] - Once an operation is complete, the Damage to Your Work exclusion takes over, precluding coverage for property damage to the insured's own completed work -- unless a subcontractor did that work.   [ 09:51 ] - "Your work" and the "products-completed operations hazard" are both specifically defined policy terms, complete with a three-part test for exactly when work is deemed done.   [ 11:37 ] - The team finds the carve-out they were looking for: coverage turns on whether the work "has not been completed or abandoned."   [ 14:45 ] - The kitchen renovation was substantially complete, so the water damage likely falls under the Your Work exclusion.   [ 15:19 ] - Either way, some damage may still be covered -- reconnecting the ice maker wasn't really the contractor's "work," so the resulting damage to the flooring is arguably separate, covered damage.   Your PLRB Resources   Coverage Question: Is This an Ongoing or Completed Operation? https://members.plrb.org/documents/is-this-an-ongoing-or-completed-operation-2025-08-25fjg   Adjuster Resource Sheet: Faulty Work https://members.plrb.org/documents/adjuster-resource-sheet-faulty-work   Employees of member companies also have access to a searchable legal database, hundreds of hours of video trainings, building code materials, weather data, and even the ability to have your coverage questions answered by our team of attorneys (https://www.plrb.org/ask-plrb/) at no additional charge to you or your company.   Subscribe to this Podcast   Your Podcast App - Please subscribe and rate us on your favorite podcast app   YouTube - Please like and subscribe at @plrb   LinkedIN - Please follow at "Property and Liability Resource Bureau"   Send us your Scenario!   Please reach out to us at 630-509-8704 with your scenario!

    Wait, the PACE Exam has Mock Claim Documents?

    A homeowner reports that the central air conditioning system stopped working during a summer heat wave. They sent their contractor's invoice to their insurance company. The adjuster has to review the invoice, the Declarations Page, and policy excerpts to handle the claim. But this isn't a real claims file; this are mock claims documents as used in the PACE Designation Exam. Today we'll explore how authentic assessment is leveraged to test real-world skills, and you can try your luck with this sample question. Notable Timestamps [ 01:24 ] - The exam includes basic recall questions that require the test-taker to produce knowledge on the spot, such as defining key terms and claims handling concepts. [ 03:03 ] - Application questions go a step beyond simple recall by providing a specific claim scenario and challenging the test-taker to determine how to properly handle it. [ 04:26 ] - Authentic assessment utilizes research questions designed to mimic real-world tasks, presenting professionals with mock documents to analyze and interpret. [ 06:15 ] - A sample question asks test-takers to review a contractor's invoice, a declarations page, and policy excerpts to solve a central air conditioning failure. [ 08:11 ] - Just like in real life, test-takers must filter through extraneous details within the provided mock documents to locate the relevant facts needed to resolve the claim. [ 10:47 ] - By carefully reviewing the policy limits and endorsements, the test-taker can correctly deduce that the sample claim is covered but strictly capped at $10,000. [ 13:29 ] - Ultimately, this rigorous testing methodology elevates the designation's value by ensuring that credential holders are practically equipped to handle real-world claims.

    Can You Pass the PACE Designation Exam?

    An adjuster has decided to level up their career by earning their PACE-P Designation. They've completed the comprehensive educational program, prepared with the study guide, and are now sitting down to take the remotely proctored exam. Are they ready for it? Are you? Notable Timestamps [ 00:00:34 ] - The podcast explores the scenario of an adjuster who has completed an educational program and a study guide, and is now preparing to sit for the remotely proctored PACE Designation Exam. [ 00:04:04 ] - The PACE Designation program begins with an onboarding curriculum, consisting of three core courses that teach foundational insurance concepts, industry jargon, and claims handling. [ 00:04:32 ] - Participants can progress to a seven-course Personal Property Lines track detailing claim evaluation and resolution, and later choose a la carte electives known as Claims Intensives for more niche topics. [ 00:11:52 ] - The exam is divided into three timed segments: a 35-minute Core Curriculum unit, a 65-minute Personal Lines Property unit, and a 35-minute Claims Intensive unit, which do not have to be taken on the exact same day. [ 00:13:03 ] - Because the exam is strictly timed, test-takers must answer and immediately move forward, as the system does not allow them to return to previous questions once a response has been selected. [ 00:15:45 ] - Helpful exam strategies recommended by the hosts include reading questions fully, identifying qualifying keywords like "best" or "always," and actively eliminating the incorrect answer options. [ 00:17:28 ] - Earning the PACE-P designation means joining a select group of recognized professionals after passing a proctored, two-and-a-half-hour exam that tests skills using authentic claim documents.

    Help! I Need to Study for the PACE Designation Exam!

    An adjuster has decided to level up their career by earning their PACE-P Designation. They've completed the comprehensive educational program, but don't feel quite ready to sit down and take the PACE Designation Exam. So they download the PACE Study Guide and get started. Notable Timestamps [ 04:23 ] - The PACE Designation Program provides a comprehensive foundation of knowledge and practical skills tailored for claims professionals to succeed. [ 06:41 ] - Members can complete the Core Curriculum, the Personal Lines Property Track, and the Claims Intensives at no additional cost, and receive a discounted rate on the final PACE Designation Exam. [ 07:59 ] - The PACE Designation Exam takes roughly two and a half hours, but the timed multiple-choice sections can be split up and completed across different days. [ 10:37 ] - Using the PACE Study Guide is highly recommended, as members often take months to finish the program and need a thorough refresher before testing. [ 11:57 ] - The PACE Study Guide includes a suggested four-week calendar that structures your preparation, breaking down lessons, flashcards, and outlines. [ 13:33 ] - A new digital flashcard and glossary feature allows test-takers to search for specific terms and isolate their studying to specific courses. [ 15:20 ] - The flashcards utilize a spaced repetition learning method, bringing back concepts you mark as difficult more frequently to enhance memory. [ 18:19 ] - Once you successfully earn your PACE-P designation, you can proudly display your new credential on your resume, email, and social media pages.

    Oops! What is "That Particular Part"?

    A plumber was hired to perform work on a pipe on an insured home. In the course of that work, the plumber accidentally smashed his wrench into the pipe, damaging it. The water damaged nearby drywall and carpet. Notable Timestamps [ 00:44 ] - The j(5) exclusion specifically applies to property damage on that particular part of real property where operations are directly being performed. [ 01:14 ] - In contrast to the j(5) exclusion, the j(6) exclusion applies to any property that requires restoration, repair, or replacement because the work was performed incorrectly. [ 02:44 ] - If a plumber accidentally breaks a pipe while working on it, fixing the pipe is probably excluded, but resulting damage to nearby drywall and carpet may be covered. [ 04:32 ] - General liability insurance typically isn't meant to cover general carelessness. [ 08:29 ] - Courts interpreting exclusions broadly might deny coverage, reasoning that the particular part being worked on encompasses the entire project or property. [ 10:50 ] - When courts interpret exclusions narrowly, they restrict the exclusion to just the defective part being worked on, which can result in broader insurance coverage. [ 13:49 ] - For a botched oil change causing engine failure, a narrow interpretation excludes only the oil and filter, while a broad view excludes the whole engine. [ 15:07 ] - Defective workmanship that results in damage to other property, or to work that is not the insured's own product, can be considered a covered occurrence.

    Oops! Whose Fault is Faulty Workmanship?

    A general contractor installs a commercial storefront window system. Because the flashing is installed incorrectly, rainwater enters the building during the first storm. The building owner sues the contractor, seeking the cost to remove and replace the defective window system and repair the water-damaged drywall and flooring inside. The contractor tenders the suit to its CGL insurer. Notable Timestamps [ 00:00:34 ] - A contractor faces a lawsuit after incorrectly installing window flashing that leads to water damage inside a building. [ 00:04:48 ] - A central issue in these claims is determining if an insurance company actually owes defense and indemnity when a contractor's work causes property damage. [ 00:06:26 ] - Commercial liability insurance is designed to cover unpredictable accidents and occurrences rather than serving as a guarantee for a contractor's faulty work. [ 00:08:53 ] - Under the majority legal view, such as in Alabama, faulty workmanship does not qualify as an occurrence because the work was done purposefully without fortuity. [ 00:10:00 ] - A growing minority view, seen in states like Pennsylvania and Colorado, broadly interprets these incidents as accidents unless the contractor intended the damage. [ 00:10:55 ] - Even if a situation qualifies as an occurrence under a state's laws, insurers may still rely on specific policy exclusions, like j(5) and j(6), to limit coverage. [ 00:11:26 ] - While the majority view denies indemnity for faulty workmanship itself, defective work that damages other property can still be classified as an occurrence.

    Is Losing a Horse Bodily Injury?

    Emma's cousin Mark moved to the big city and left his horse at Emma's ranch. For five years, she took care of the horse like it was one of her own. One day Mark took offense at one of Emma's social media posts, and quietly removed the horse without her knowledge, believing he was the rightful owner. Emma was devastated and sued Mark, alleging emotional distress, mental pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. Mark's insurer denied his defense on the basis that no bodily injury was claimed. Notable Timestamps [ 00:00:33 ] - The scenario involves a woman who sued her cousin for emotional distress and mental suffering after he quietly removed his horse from her ranch. [ 00:04:37 ] - At this stage of litigation, the focus is not on whether the cousin owes damages, but strictly whether his insurance owes him a legal defense. [ 00:07:29 ] - The plaintiff's complaint relies entirely on emotional damages like loss of consortium and mental pain, notably lacking standard liability allegations like property damage. [ 00:08:57 ] - The defining legal question is whether pure mental pain and emotional distress can satisfy the standard insurance definition of a bodily injury, sickness, or disease. [ 00:12:11 ] - In jurisdictions following the majority rule, such as Ohio, courts have established that pure emotional distress or PTSD without physical harm does not equal bodily injury. [ 00:15:56 ] - Alternatively, courts in minority rule states like New York view emotional trauma as potentially equal to physical injury because they find standard policy language ambiguous. [ 00:18:28 ] - To satisfy the bodily injury requirement in a majority state, the plaintiff must usually demonstrate physical manifestations of their distress, such as headaches or nausea. [ 00:23:14 ] - Insurance professionals can utilize PLRB.org's 50-State Surveys on emotional distress as a convenient tool to quickly check the controlling case law and rules within specific states.
