The committee held an executive session for a legal update and discussion on cyber insurance. Following the session, the committee received a presentation from brokers regarding renewal options for excess liability coverage and unmanned aircraft (drone) insurance. Key discussions centered on loss cost analysis, specifically comparing options from current and prospective carriers, the impact of Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) on coverage, and the benefits of maintaining autonomy over claims management versus delegating control to an excess insurance carrier. The committee ultimately decided to move forward with a specific insurance option that provided higher SIRs, citing the need for greater autonomy in handling and potentially settling claims to mitigate impacts on loss runs.
