An insured calls to report a loss that appears to be questionable. What are the ethical responsibilities of an agent for this type of claim? Do the responsibilities differ if the producer is a broker? Thats the Question Of Ethics posed by NU columnist Peter R. Kensicki for his next piece, scheduled to appear in NU's Dec. 11 edition. Click ahead on this entry for more details and to respond–either right here and now, and/or for our print edition.
Feel free to respond to this question right here, on my blog (I'll forward your responses to our columnist), or to Professor Kensicki directly at ethics@eku.edu.
All responses for the blog and magazine column will be kept confidential (in other words, no names and no company affiliations will be published). All we ask is that you identify whether you are an agent or broker, insurance company official or risk manager, to give readers perspective about where you are coming from.
If you are responding directly to our columnist, please send your comments to Professor Kensicki by Nov. 1. His column is due to me shortly thereafter.
