Avoiding Franchisor Liability Claims
Sponsored by
Michael A. Logan and Boyd Mouse The franchisor/franchisee relationship is a complicated one, and involve |
s a balance between the rights and responsibilities of each. On the one hand, the franchisor wants to protect its trademark and goodwill, maintain the brand, and ensure that the franchisee complies with uniform standards and quality. Accordingly, the franchise agreement contains extensive rules and requirements concerning the operation of the business to help achieve this objective. On the other hand, the franchisor does not want to inject itself into 
the day-to-day control of the franchisee's business; otherwise, it runs the risk of assuming liability for the conduct of the franchisee's business when events such as the over service of alcohol occurs. This fine line between maintaining brand consistency without actually directing or controlling the activities of the franchisee is at the heart of the issue discussed in this article.

Increase you Opportunity for California Earthquake Insurance
Whit Brown CPCU, ARM The California Earthquake insurance market is harder to navigate now than ever before.
A perfect storm of factors has dried up capacity. The supply of property catastrophe
capacity dwindled after Hurricane Katrina as reinsures reduced their catastrophe
exposures. When capacity is available, it is often too expensive for primary companies
to use. This has forced companies to decrease their earthquake aggregates. At the same
time, the computer models that companies use to model their portfolios and individual
accounts have been updated, and modeled losses have increased on the order of 25% to
50%. Finally, rating agencies are taking a closer look at carriers’ catastrophe exposures,
and the impact that mega-catastrophes such as Katrina could have on their solvency.
The end result of these factors, as we have all seen, is a lack of adequate capacity for
earthquake insurance buyers. Given this environment, proper presentation of an account to underwriters can increase
the chance of securing the best coverage for your client. Professional submissions with
complete underwriting information go to the top of the DIC underwriter’s stack. California is divided into eight earthquake zones. In addition to being used for rate making purposes, the zones are used
by insurers and reinsurers to track their aggregate liabilities. Most cap their aggregate PMLs on a per zone basis. |
