  • "Claims made” - what does that mean?
  • What is a retroactive date and why is this important if you have a contract that requires a higher limit than you currently have and what do you do?
  • Exclusive versus Inclusive limit - does it matter?
  • What is “Run-Off” cover and do I require it in my work setting? What exactly is it and do I need it?
  • What is public liability insurance?
