Empowering brokers through gamified learning
T
he network of deep, long-term partnerships we have formed with the broker channel is at the core of our business. These relationships are a testament to RSA’s continuing commitment to investing in our mutual success. However, an increasingly competitive market can put a strain on those relationships, especially in the context of insurers flocking to the
direct channel. It is important for brokers to work with an insurer who has the resources and experience to support the Personal Insurance broker channel as customer expectations shift in today’s market. As customers see brokers as trusted advisors, it is in the best interest of any insurer to invest in the tools and training to empower its broker partners and set them up for success.
The Power of You Earlier this year, we launched The Power of You, an initiative that encourages brokers to engage, learn and interact with RSA, so that they can keep abreast of new products and coverages, regulatory and rate changes and other information that could be valuable to their customers. Based around a superhero theme, the campaign puts the power in brokers’ hands by allowing them to acquire badges based on their activity, including webinar participation, brochure downloads or video views. Knowing that brokers are competitive and committed to doing right by their customers, we gamified the platform, giving brokers full control of their engagement level. Ultimately, the more they participate, the better counsel they will be equipped to provide as third-party advisors. The program is focused on key Personal Insurance areas that are topical, relevant and key differentiators to working with RSA. Waterproof Coverage™ is one such example which was recently updated to protect against evolving flood risks, including sudden and rapid snow or ice melt. We’ve also introduced a new Water Service Line Endorsement to protect water and/or sewer lines connected to the home. Another area is our partnership with the AIR MILES® Reward Program which allows customers the opportunity to get one AIR MILES® Reward Mile for every $20 in premium (including taxes)*. Not only do customers benefit and get more out of their policy, our data shows that the reward program helps increase brokers’ retention rates by up to five per cent.i Also, our Climate Smart program helps brokers identify and protect against potential risks to their customers’ property. Climate Smart educates brokers of changing

events, earthquakes and more. This is becoming more crucial as global weather patterns are becoming less predictable. Access to Climate Smart via The Power of You is another way the platform allows brokers to remain more competitive by providing additional expertise.
Broker Participation Ultimately, brokers have full control over their participation level, leaving the power in their hands. Throughout the campaign, brokers can track their progress and acquire any missing badges by completing the corresponding activity. Those who acquire all the badges will be entered to win a true superhero experience: a trip to the closest thing to Gotham City (New York City)!
Conclusion Over the course of our partnership, we have learned that the best way to maintain and evolve the relationships with our Personal Insurance broker partners is to keep them informed and engaged as the external environment evolves. The Power of You is just one way RSA plans on doing that. Come September, we will be introducing extensive broker training with 10 new courses that focus on prospecting, sales and productivity to further empower brokers to excel in the service they provide to customers. That is how our commitment to brokers takes form, by putting our words into action that drives our mutual success. To learn more, visit rsabroker.ca/powerofyou.

When the cats come back, the very next day
The P&C insurance industry is facing a new breed of risk — simultaneous or back-to-back natural catastrophe events. David Gambrill Editor-in-Chief Canadian Underwriter david@canadianunderwriter.ca
As bad as the weather in Canada has been over the past decade, it’s projected to get worse through to 2050. Consequently, the property and casualty insurance industry is facing a new breed of risk – simultaneous or back-to-back natural catastrophe events. The Insurance Bureau of Canada issued a detailed report in 2012, Telling the Weather Story, that projects current climate patterns into 2050. Summarizing the findings very basically, whatever natural catastrophes we are witnessing now, they will be at least 10-20 per cent worse in three decades. That means more frequent and severe: • droughts and wildfire in Western Canada; • rain and flooding in Ontario and Quebec; and • freezing rain storms, flooding and hurricanes in the Atlantic provinces. Events that occur once every 20 years now will happen once every decade in 2050. In the future, it seems more likely that natural catastrophes will happen either simultaneously or follow closely on the heels of one another. Exaggerating to prove a point, imagine a month in which the proverbial “Big One,” a Magnitude 8+ earthquake, strikes B.C., a wildfire razes an Alberta town, microburst thunderstorms flood eastern
Canada, and a hurricane blasts Atlantic Canada. Does Canada’s P&C industry have the adjusting and contracting resources required to tackle the increased likelihood of this kind of multiple-whammy? The question came up recently in Ontario and Quebec, where weather-related catastrophes happened within two weeks of each other in April and May. After an ice storm hit Ontario and Quebec in mid-April, causing $190 million in insured damage (mostly in Ontario), a freak windstorm blew through the same provinces in early May, adding another $410 million of insured claims damage to the bill (mainly in Ontario). Some industry observers felt the May windstorm “caught the industry by surprise.” Overall, it should be said that P&C professionals rose to the occasion as they typically do. Certainly, the industry was “all-hands-on-deck” for the windstorm. Ultimately, thousands of policyholders got their repairs done, received their insurance cheques, and moved on with their lives. But within the P&C industry, some queried whether the windstorm response required some adjustments. Some stories emerged (perhaps apocryphal) suggesting that individual well-meaning contractors and adjusters had exceeded their areas of expertise in providing service to clients. It is not at all my intention to disparage or belittle the efforts of the many thousands
of exemplary, seasoned P&C industry professionals who clearly exceeded the expectations of the people who matter most — the policyholders. Those who raised these minor hiccups did so in the context of highlighting a broader issue for the industry. If the Ontario windstorm was indeed a test case for how the industry handles back-toback cats, what will happen in the future when the claims community is called upon to respond to even larger and more frequent back-to-back catastrophes? As in any business, not just the P&C business, bad things happen when not enough people are available to accomplish the task at hand. If too many individuals wear too many hats, the overall quality of service is at risk. How to reduce this risk? One way is to tackle the issue of inter-jurisdictional mobility. Independent adjusters have argued for some time that Canada needs a bettercoordinated, multi-jurisdictional approach to adjuster mobility for cat scenarios. If the Fort McMurray fire in Alberta happened at the same time as the Ontario windstorm, how quickly would adjusters have been able to deploy their resources across the country, given the hodgepodge of mobility restrictions that face them now? This is an important issue that needs to be discussed nationally. Ideally, this conversation would start before the cats come back, the very next day.

MARKETPLACE TOP COURT UPHOLDS LAW AGAINST DOUBLE RECOVERY The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld a longstanding principle that an insurance claimant should not recover twice for the same kind of loss arising from the same auto accident. Kossay El-Khodr was driving a tow truck Jan. 9, 2007 when his truck was rear-ended by a truck driven by Raymond Lackie, owned by John McPhail, and insured by Northbridge Commercial Insurance Corporation. El-Khodr was catastrophically impaired and “liability was admitted” by the time of a
INSURER OWES $234K WHEN NAMED INSURED IS NOT THE CAR OWNER Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Fund recovered $234,574 in a priority dispute arising when GAN Canada Insurance (since acquired by Aviva Traders) sent a policy termination notice in 2001 to a named insured who was not the owner of the car involved in a fatal crash. The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a finding by a lower court judge that the policy termination notice was incorrectly sent to the “named insured” – the vehicle
IS AUTO INSURANCE RIDING INTO THE SUNSET? Property lines premium in Canada is catching up to auto premiums, prompting many to predict that auto insurance will recede in the rearview mirror in the future. Back in 1999, auto made up half of all direct premiums written, while property accounted for 31%, data from MSA Research show. Last year, auto accounted for 42% of DPW and property 39%. So why is the proportion of auto business shrinking? “It’s not so much that auto is shrinking (yet), but property is growing much faster as

personal injury lawsuit trial in 2015, as Ontario Court of Appeal Justice Jean MacFarland noted in a decision last year. El-Khodr was initially awarded $2.9 million by a jury of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Overturning a lower court ruling, the Court of Appeal for Ontario found that any accident benefits that El-Khodr received from his insurer, RSA – including $500,000 for future professional, medication and assistive devices — should be assigned to the defendants’ liability insurer, Northbridge. The Supreme Court upheld the appeal court ruling.

owner’s wife, who arranged the policy – instead of her husband, the owner of the vehicle. Anne Leonard first purchased the automobile insurance from GAN Canada Insurance in 1999. She contacted GAN by telephone and spoke with a representative who issued her an ‘owner’s policy’ for two vehicles. Anne Leonard’s husband, Peter Leonard, was the registered owner of the two insured vehicles. When Aviva Traders could not withdraw premium amounts from Anne Leonard’s bank account in September 2001, it sent
a notice of termination for failure to pay premiums by registered mail addressed to Anne Leonard. One month later, her son was involved in an accident that killed the son’s friend (the driver who lost control of the vehicle) and catastrophically injured another passenger. The Fund settled with the catastrophically injured passenger and then successfully sought recovery from Aviva Traders, arguing that the insurance policy had not properly been cancelled since the notice went out to the named insured and not the owner of the vehicle.
a line of business,” says MSA Research president and CEO Joel Baker. “More people in urban centres are forgoing getting a car and opting for transit or Uber/Lyft. Some downtown condos don’t offer parking spots etc. Longer term, autonomous vehicles will diminish the auto line further. I think it is safe to say that the sun is beginning to set on auto as the dominant line of business.” Baker predicts the shift will happen sometime over the medium to long term.

HOW AN ABANDONED NEIGHBOURING PROPERTY INCREASES FLOOD RISK Lindsay Bunce got a nasty shock one cold winter day when she and her husband went down to the basement of their Toronto home. “We were surprised to find about two inches of water across our basement and water coming in at quite a rapid rate from our shared wall with the other house,” Bunce said in an interview. The 104-year-old home she shares with her husband is semi-detached. The adjoining home is abandoned. The flood occurred this past January when the temperature was well below freezing. Bunce conjectured that the causes of the burst pipe were lack of maintenance and extreme weather. The couple are still dealing with their insurance provider and restoration work is still ongoing. It has been “a little bit of a struggle” to find the owner of the home next door, Bunce said. In Canada, the average cost of a flooded basement is $43,000, says Blair Feltmate, head of the Intact Centre for Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo.
WHY BROKERS ARE LEERY OF CARRIERS’ UBI MOBILE APPS Usage-based insurance has raised the profile of insurers on consumers’ electronic devices, and this could be bad news for some brokers. “As a brokerage we take exception to the telematics [mobile app] because it competes with our marketing message,” says Adam Mitchell, principal of Whitby, Ont.-based Mitchell & Whale Insurance Brokers Ltd. He was speaking at a PCUC Luncheon in Toronto. Several auto insurers use UBI to offer discounts based on data gathered from telematics. The technology lets insurers gather data from insured vehicles such as distance, location, speed, sudden acceleration and hard braking. Mobile apps offering UBI also tend to feature the insurer’s name and logo prominently. This is prime marketing real estate for brokers as well. Mitchell offers an example in which the broker is Mitchell & Whale, the insurer is Intact, and the insurer’s mobile app is My Driving Discount. “When you go into the app, you see [Intact’s] brand,” Mitchell explains. But meanwhile, as a broker, he adds, “I am trying to keep the relationship with you as my customer, because I might move you from Intact, or Economical, or RSA, and so on.” This has the potential to be “marketing war” on a customer’s smart phone between a broker and a carrier, Mitchell suggested.
WHY CANADIANS WON’T BUY INSURANCE FROM FACEBOOK, AMAZON OR GOOGLE — FOR NOW As it stands now, most Canadians aren’t likely to buy insurance products from “BigTech” companies such as Amazon, Facebook and Google, a recent survey shows. Globally, just one in three customers said they would be willing to buy insurance from the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google, according to a recent report from the global consultant Capgemini (produced in collaboration with Efma, a global non-profit association of banks and insurers). In Canada, that number dropped about 10 percentage points to about one in five customers. Why are Canadian customers less likely than the global average to consider purchasing products from BigTech firms? Canada’s aging population is a factor. About 29% of Gen Y customers and 39% of tech-savvy customers are likely to purchase insurance from BigTech firms, compared to the global average of 29.5%. “Tech savvy” customers are defined as people who frequently use online and mobile channels to conduct transactions such as purchasing electronics, clothes, food and groceries, paying bills, etc. “The overall percentage in Canada, however, is brought down by the non-Gen Y and non-tech-savvy customers,” says Satish Weber, digital insurance leader with Capgemini. Only 19.7% of non-Gen Y consumers and 14.2% of non-tech savvy customers are likely to purchase from BigTech. The global report surveyed 10,000 personal lines customers in 20 countries, covering all three broad insurance segments – life, non-life and health insurance. August 2018 Canadian Underwriter

MARKETPLACE THE STATE OF OVERLAND FLOOD COVERAGE IN CANADA TODAY Five years after massive flooding caused more than $4 billion in uninsured losses in Alberta, more than a dozen insurers representing about three-fourths of Canada’s property insurance market are now covering overland flood. Sixteen insurers representing 77% of the market now offer overland flood coverage, says Craig Stewart, vice president of federal affairs for Insurance Bureau of Canada. IBC is not naming all 16 carriers offering overland flood. Those who publicly advertise it include Aviva, The Co-
operators, RSA, Gore Mutual, Wawanesa, Economical, Desjardins (whose brands in Canada include State Farm and The Personal), Intact, and Coachman. Water damage coverage is still a concern because overland flood is not available at affordable rates to hundreds of thousands of Canadian homeowners, mainly because they live in areas deemed by insurers to be at a high risk of flooding, Stewart told Canadian Underwriter. IBC has recommended that Canada have insurance for homes at high risk of flood where the coverage is administered by insurers but the capital is provided by government.
LEADING CANADIAN INSURERS ‘LOOKING AT M&A INTENSELY’ Brokers can expect to see at least one major carrier consolidation deal this year, assuming that the prediction of a major mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm holds true. Of the top 10 Canadian P&C insurers, “it could be expected that a few of them are looking at mergers and acquisitions intensely,” says Georges Pigeon, Montreal-based partner with KPMG’s transaction services group. “My expectation would be that some of them would contemplate an acquisition in the coming years if the right opportunity comes along.” He made his comments in an interview about a June KPMG International report, Accelerated evolution – M&A, transformation and innovation in the insurance industry. In that report, 80% of insurance executives surveyed worldwide “expect to seek one to three acquisition targets or partnership opportunities over the next three years.” On average, over the past 10-15 years in the Canadian P&C marketplace, there has been at least one “major acquisition of a carrier” each year, Pigeon says. He predicts the trend will continue, although he did not go so far as to speculate on specific carriers. In Canada, the question is “whether anyone wants to sell, and that will drive whether we see another transaction,” says Tim Prince, a Torontobased partner with KPMG Canada’s advisory service.
“It remains to be determined what the mechanism would look like,” Stewart said. “We don’t believe that low-risk insurance policyholders should be subsidizing those who have been permitted to continue living in harm’s way.”
WHEN YOUR MECHANIC GIVES YOU INSURANCE ADVICE After following up on their mechanic’s suggestion to file a retroactive insurance claim, a B.C. couple is now on the hook for an $800.75 repair job to their 2010 Toyota Prius. Blenda and Raymond Pilon made an auto insurance claim after the headlights of their Prius were damaged due to the effects of a heavy snowfall, followed by heavy rain, in January 2017. In support of their claim, they produced an Oct. 17, 2017 letter from the mechanic stating that their vehicle was damaged from water intrusion caused by a snowfall that engulfed the vehicle. The couple told a B.C. small claims court that when the repairs were performed, they did not know if insurance would cover the claim. “They only considered an insurance claim when their mechanic suggested it months later,” wrote Kate Campbell, the adjudicator for B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal. The mechanic, however, was not aware of the specific policy wording, which states that the car owner must not “make any repairs to the vehicle, other than repairs that are immediately necessary to protect the vehicle from further loss or damage.” The Insurance Corporation of B.C. (ICBC), the province’s public insurer, had not had an opportunity to inspect the vehicle before the couple took it to their mechanic for repairs, the tribunal found. Neither the couple nor the mechanic had kept the damaged headlight assembly for inspection by the insurer, causing the coverage to be voided.

Finding the Fraudsters Within How analytics can ferret out rogue insurance professionals who game the system.
W
Amanda Holden National Executive Fraud & Security Intelligence SAS Canada
e all know the insurance industry is under siege by fraudulent activity from the outside. Examples abound of unscrupulous actors — including rehab and health care providers, car repair facilities, tow truck drivers, lawyers and claimants — seeking to game the system. Last year, calling auto insurance fraud a systemic “industry” that costs its taxpayers $1.6 billion annually, the Ontario government vowed to create a Serious Fraud Office to tackle the problem. But what about those attacking the system from within? Last year, a partner in an insurance firm based in Lethbridge, Alta. pled guilty to a charge of bilking the company out of half a million dollars in commissions over the last decade, by creating fake accounts and altering existing ones. The alleged fraud only came to light after another employee reported anomalous activities in the partner’s book. One personal and commercial insurer estimated that internal fraud might amount to as much as 10 per cent of premium volume.
The techniques of fraudsters within the P&C industry are varied. Among the most common are: • skimming or lapping premiums (funneling customer premiums into fake accounts); • fraudsters use their own money to create fake policies to score commissions, incentives, and bonuses, and then let the policies lapse; • forging policyholders’ signatures; and • churning (convincing customers to terminate their policies and buy new ones, collecting extra commission in the process). In some instances, agents may potentially write policies for higher-risk customers at a reduced rate (rather than one that might make the customer walk away), thereby collecting commission on policies that expose the company to higher payouts and inaccurate risk management. One challenge for insurers lies in the velocity, variety and volume of networked transactions, which increase the threat exposure. Another is using limited investigative or audit resources effectively. How do you find a needle when you’re not even sure in which haystack its buried?

Feature l Fraud Fortunately, fraudulent activity leaves a data footprint that rings alarm bells in the analytical organization.
DATA FOOTPRINT The simplest definition of analytics is the process of turning data into insight. Sifting algorithmically through data, applying statistical principles, pattern recognition, data modelling, machine learning and other techniques, an analytics regimen can discover previously unknown connections that can predict outcomes, trace the symptoms of anomalies and help define more effective and efficient business rules. If the sheer volume of data collection were the solution, we would be well on our way to a fraud-free world. The volume can be as much a liability as an asset, both in its sheer crushing weight and its bewildering variety: reports and spreadsheets, databases and time series, social media posts and email messages. It takes powerful technology — and more importantly, powerfully attuned business and data sense — to filter that ocean into a drinkable glass of water. HAYSTACK INTO HAY BALE There is a rich and deep catalogue of analytical techniques with a track record of preventing and predicting fraudulent activity. First steps need not be complex: good data, strong knowledge of business processes and simple business rules often find the low-hanging fruit. From there, an organization’s fraud analytics practice can grow in sophistication, balancing risk management and customer experience. Among those tools: Peer grouping with geospatial and other agency attributes Like-size agencies in similar geographies and demographics should have similar books. An agency that stands out for policies of particular advantage — for example, in professions that offer significant discounts or policy types that can reap better commissions and bonuses —merits further investigation.

“One personal and commercial insurer estimated that internal fraud might amount to as much as 10 per cent of premium volume.”
Anomaly detection Agencies that, for example, write a substantial amount of business outside their geographical area could be systematically flipping policies to increase commissions. In this example, fraud may be detected through “unsupervised learning” by an analytics system (the application of statistical techniques and analysis). There is also a category of “supervised learning,” which is taught through industry experience and a library of analytical precedent. Target definition Three years of policy, quote and claims data, together with a history of agent gaming, is typically enough for an analytical system to use machine learning to create accurate predictive models. Social network analysis Analytics systems can discover unexplained relationships of policy activity and entity — for example, apparently
unrelated policies linked to a common telephone number or email address. Integrating these techniques into an overall analytics strategy can help flag gaming activity more often and more accurately, allowing investigative resources to be used in a more cost-effective manner.
ANALYTICS IN ACTION The risk management practice of one of the largest insurers in the United States faced a challenge policing its huge number of agents and policies. Collating the documentation for a single case took 17.5 hours and still returned a false positive rate of nearly 50 per cent. The company’s strategy to develop an analytics-based approach to the problem was threefold: • Integrating policy, quote, claim and internal audit data, and then cleansing and standardizing it. • Applying anomaly detection, predictive modeling and social network analysis to create an alert generation process. • Creating a hybrid scoring system based on a combination of business rules and model and Social Network Analysis scores. The result? Agent review time plunged from 17.5 hours to three. Having five times as much investigative time came in handy: the improved alert system flagged 10 times as many files.
BONUS POINTS Fraud detection isn’t the only area that can reap efficiencies from an analytics strategy. The side effects of an anti-fraud initiative can lead to less flashy improvements such as closing system loopholes, flagging poor business practices, enabling automated reporting and monitoring, and aligning compensation practices. All of that is reflected in the bottom line. All these efficiencies are predicated on the collection and integration of data from across the organization. Data can overwhelm, or it can be mastered to improve the business. Advanced analytics is the key.
Feature l Claims
Where’s the Trust? Behind enemy lines: a trial lawyer suggests ways for insurers to build trust with clients during the adversarial claims process.
Joseph Oppenheim Partner Carbert Waite LLP
I
n the movie As Good as it Gets, Jack Nicholson brilliantly plays a germophobic curmudgeon who is forced to take care of his neighbour’s incontinent dog, Verdell. They don’t like each other – Jack once tossed Verdell down the garbage chute after he caught Verdell peeing all over the apartment building – but fate has brought them together. When Verdell enters Jack’s apartment for the first time, Jack looks at him almost sympathetically; then, with a sinister smile, rhetorically asks: “Where’s the trust?” Full disclosure: I am a trial lawyer who represents insured policyholders in claims against insurance companies. From my perspective, as with Jack and Verdell, I see little trust between insurers and third-party claimants, although admittedly comparisons to a curmudgeon and a dog are unfair to everyone involved. Also, I’m not suggesting that insurers harbour a personal animosity toward their clients.
That said, I’ve seen many claimants perceive the claims process as one in which the insurer is trying to take advantage of them. They are usually unaware of the legislation, regulations and professional ethics that govern the insurer’s behaviour. The result is that claimants become skeptical in dealing with adjusters, resulting in a form of paralysis of the claims process. “From behind enemy lines,” as a trial lawyer, I can think of three ways that insurers can build trust with claimants. Assume the claimant will be getting free legal advice. There are too many lawyers. Everybody has a friend or a relative that is a lawyer. It is probably safe to assume that claimants will be getting some free legal advice. To the extent that a lawyer confirms the adjuster’s information is kosher, the adjuster’s credibility will be enhanced. This high-

Feature l Claims lights the value of explaining the claims process to the claimant thoroughly from the beginning. Explain the process before asking for information. In my experience, many claimants know very little about the claims process. They don’t appreciate, for example, that: • it is inherently adversarial, • they are obligated to provide evidence in support of their claim, • they need to be transparent with respect to the treatment they receive, their medical history, their income, etc., or • limitation periods apply. I have observed that when adjusters first take the time to educate claimants about the process, claimants are more likely to engage in it properly and transparently. My recommendation is to go through this information in some detail
before asking the claimants for information or consent to obtain their personal information. I also recommend that adjusters encourage claimants to seek legal advice. All of this will assist in building trust. Make moderate requests for information. I disagree with the practice of asking claimants to consent to the disclosure of all their medical records going back years before an accident. While it may be administratively efficient, such a request is often not appropriate for a particular case and can be seen as overly intrusive
and unjustified. When a claimant seeks legal advice about it, they will likely be advised to refuse. This tends to deepen the trust deficit. Instead, I recommend that adjusters consider the nature of the claim on a case-by-case basis and take an incremental approach to information requests. Once an adjuster starts obtaining some information, it may well be the case that further requests are justified. If one proceeds in this fashion, claimants are more likely to cooperate, and claims will be more smoothly assessed. Both sides benefit when a claim is adjusted smoothly, and when claimants are forthcoming with their information. In most cases, claimants are less sneaky than they are skeptical. A little understanding goes a long way. Bodily injury practices that emphasize transparency and moderation will more likely result in forthcoming and transparent claimants.

Next-Generation Safety First, there was the seatbelt. Next were driver-assist safety features. How will the third safety revolution affect underwriters?
A
second auto safety revolution is now upon us. Onboard vehicle safety features are no longer “passive,” in the sense that their job is merely to reduce accident severity. Rather, they are rapidly becoming “active” – designed to reduce accident probability (eg. frequency). Today’s underwriter needs access to the Bruce Carrick data that underpins this reality. In auto Director of Product insurance, good predictive analytics must Marketing Solera Canada (Audatex) accommodate inputs and conditions that are more complex. From full VIN decoding to deep data science, it is clear one must invest in the resources, skills and partnerships that prioritize a world run on algorithms. In this way, insurers will be prepared for a third auto safety revolution, which is rapidly approaching.
(NHTSA). The year 1972 holds the record for most U.S. motor vehicle fatalities (54,589), and it has fallen ever since. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that the rate of fatalities per hundred million miles travelled in the U.S. dropped over 63% (from 3.23 to 1.18) between 1976 and 2016, when both population and the total number of miles driven increased. The insurance industry adapted. The math had changed after Volvo introduced its new seat belt technology. Whether or not the policyholder drove a Volvo mattered more. Figure 1 (see Page 18) perhaps best illustrates progress in safety during the first revolution. As a test, the IIHS collided a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu with a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air, with an unbelted test dummy behind the wheel. The impact of technology in keeping drivers safe over the years is self-evident.
THE FIRST SAFETY REVOLUTION: CURBING DEATH
THE HUMAN PROBLEM
The first 50 years in the life of the mass-produced automobile saw a huge increase in vehicle ownership, along with a steadily increasing rate of accident related deaths. Car crashes were simply part of the price society paid for the upside of a personalized, motorized solution. Then came the first safety revolution. In 1959, Sweden’s Volvo became the first automaker in the world to include seatbelts as standard equipment. A decade or so later, the US government formed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Numerous improvements have contributed to vehicle safety since the first revolution; one element that has proven to be difficult to re-engineer is the ‘nut behind the wheel.’ The inevitability of driver failures—thus crashes—was once considered a given. Therefore, design objectives centred on survivability, guided by a “passive” safety philosophy. In this approach, the onus is on the driver to be safe, and onboard safety features and systems are available if something goes wrong.

Feature l Automotive to demonstrate before it’s even allowed to be put on the road.” Chen believes third parties should contribute to developing vehicle safety standards, and that these standards should be applied to all vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers. His point applies across the full spectrum of performance, not only to platform security. Insurance underwriters could, and should, contribute to that exercise.
ROAD TO THIRD REVOLUTION: BETTER VIN DE-CODING Figure 1 – In this crash test involving two Chevrolets, the 2009 Malibu’s occupant compartment remained intact (above left) while the one in the 1959 BelAir (right) collapsed.
From an insurance underwriting perspective, little has changed since the early days. The basic model used to calculate risk relies on human factors derived from years of experience. Gathering information such as gender, age, occupational status, years licensed, driving history, etc. remains the foundation of the process. It is no longer enough.
SECOND SAFETY REVOLUTION: SUNSET ON COLLISIONS The digital age upends the philosophy of passive safety with an active approach. Shepherded to light through advanced driver assistance technology, connected cars and artificial intelligence, modern solutions challenge the idea that crashes should be part of the narrative. “Active” safety technologies measurably enhance both human and vehicle driving performance. They promise to reduce both accident severity but also accident frequency. For example, the U.S. Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) has found that vehicles equipped with forward-collision alert were 27% less likely to rear-end another vehicle. If also equipped with automated emergency braking, the figure rises to 50%. Some active safety technologies are more effective than others. For instance, the HLDI found that lane-keeping as-

sist does not measurably reduce crashes. Thus, it will be important to assess the impact of these features both individually and collectively as integrated systems. Road travel risk may never be fully eliminated, but it could be driven downward to the point of near unthinkable rarity. Going forward, insurers must harness an increasing volume of data streams and revise their underwriting models to properly assess the changing nature of auto risk.
THIRD SAFETY REVOLUTION: DRIVEN BY DATA, LITERALLY In tomorrow’s world, evaluating vehicle system performance will be critical. As the importance of human performance declines relative to machine performance over time, underwriting models will need to shift. Gathering and analyzing data generated by these new vehicle systems will be critical to understanding the changing dynamic between machine and operator. It will also be important to understand the relative performance of similar technologies offered by different manufacturers. BlackBerry CEO John Chen, when discussing his company’s growing presence in this arena, said: “The government needs to take a strong role in defining the minimum level of security that an autonomous platform needs
A practical challenge for underwriters involves determining a vehicle’s technology profile. Today, many active safety features are standard on high-end models, optional on mid-range cars, and often unavailable on the low end. A logical step in the underwriting process is to fully decode a vehicle’s identification number (VIN). However, only some VIN decoders translate the full 17 characters to provide all the available information on vehicle model, including factory-installed options and equipment. Unlike many passive safety features, active systems are far from ubiquitous. Taking it a step further: when developing a new underwriting model, a reanalysis of past loss data (including a full VIN decode) might yield some important insights into the prevalence and effectiveness of various active safety technologies.
FINAL TAKEAWAY We’re in the middle of a second automotive safety revolution, with a third revolution on the horizon. Preparing and adapting for the current disruption in data management and interpretation is key for success now, and imperative for viability tomorrow. Insurers should proactively seek new sources of data from third parties that open windows into these needs. Partnering with companies that can offer analytical tools and horsepower as well as global loss data will prove invaluable.

Ubiquity of Specialty
Specialty ris Specialty Lines insurance is quickly becoming the new commercial standard, thanks to the meltdown of the vanilla CGL policy. Here’s why you can expect to reach out to specialty markets more often in the future.
C
ommercial general liability (CGL) insurance is a must for just about any business client. But the bland vanilla flavour of CGL has so many limitations and exclusions that specialty risks such as cyber are increasingly tacked on to CGL’s standard coverage. As we move into an era that features cutomized coverage packages and more granular risk assessments, will everything soon start to look like a “specialty” risk? Will there be such thing as a “standard” CGL policy risk anymore?
WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT SPECIALTY?
The lines are already starting to blur. No black-and-white guide determines the difference between a standard insurance policy and a specialty policy. “There is not a set definition” of specialty insurance, says Dave Bresnahan, executive vice president of Boston-based Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, which entered the Canadian market in 2015. Typically, a specialty coverage does not “fit in a box,” but rather “requires some tailoring of coverage” or changing terms and conditions to meet a client’s needs, he says.

es to the top “Specialty is a word that can mean different things depending on the insurance company you are dealing with,” says Brian Kelly, Montreal-based managing partner for risk management at BFL Canada Risk and Insurance Services. For RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., specialty lines include those “that provide coverage for risks that are often unusual or difficult to place and do not fit the underwriting criteria of standard commercial products carriers,” as the company notes in its 2017 annual report. Kelly cites as examples directors’ and officers’ [D&O] liability, employment practices liability, errors and omissions [E&O], crime, cyber and pollution. VANILLA FLAVOUR
CGL’s “standard” insurance is intended to cover a company if it is found legally liable for an injury or property damage. It normally applies if a third party suffers a loss caused by the insured company’s operations, products or by accidents on company premises. “CGL is less sexy these days,” Kelly observes. “It’s a line of coverage that has been around forever.” A CGL policy is commonly “a highly commoditized product,” says Wendy Sinclair, managing director of Jones Brown Inc. “It’s like cereal.” And, like some types of bland cereals, the standard CGL is not all things to all clients. Many products offered in the industry today are an outgrowth of exclusions in the CGL policy. Examples include E&O policies, cyber liability and builder’s risk. “They became products because they were sort of filling the void in responding to claims situations that were getting knocked out by some of those CGL exclusions,” says Bresnahan. For instance, CGL policies tend to exclude manufacturers’ E&O coverage. This type of policy covers manufacturers who have sold defective components to customers. These business clients cannot move their goods because they contain the malfunctioning parts purchased from the manufacturer. BY GREG MECKBACH

FEATURE STORY
Ubiquity of Specialty
CGL is becoming more like a “banner term” for a category of insurance, observes Gary Hirst, Torontobased CEO of managing general agent CHES Special Risk Inc. “So many extensions are being added to a general liability policy,” he says, citing as examples tenant’s legal liability and employers’ liability. Several insurers are starting to add professional liability coverage to their CGL policies. Extensions are being added because there is sometimes a “blurred line” between third-party liability and professional liability. THE BLURRED LINE Take the example of a patient getting a massage at a clinic. One of the legs on the tables breaks, causing the patient to fall and get injured. The patient sues the massage clinic, resulting in a liability claim. In this scenario, Hirst notes, it’s unclear whether this is a case of negligence on the part of the company or professional negligence on the part of the masseuse.
“Is the claim because the table was broken and they didn’t do anything to repair it? Or is it because the person applying the massage was applying too much pressure and, in doing so, broke the table leg and injured the patron?” Some Canadian insurers are starting to offer CGL policies with no aggregate limit. Aggregate limits may cause additional exposures for clients. For example, your client might have a CGL with a $2-million limit and a $5-million aggregate limit in a year. In this scenario, if there are three separate incidents in a year, each giving rise to a claim, the client could not get $6 million because the aggregate limit is only $5 million. “CGL is still a valid, compelling and necessary product,” Sinclair says. “But I think its limitations are driven by the increasingly complex and changing world — a world that needs more than the CGL currently provides. Because of that, we have specialty coverage.” Some exclusions in CGL policies are for risks that underwriters believe fall into a realm of business risk, as opposed to accidents. “There are definitely situations in which the customer will say, ‘Hey, I would like coverage for these things that aren’t necessarily
24

fortuitous or are not necessarily accidents – they are inherent risks to how we run and operate our business,’” Bresnahan says. In other words, business risks don’t necessarily relate to bodily injury or property damage. For example, a common exclusion in a CGL policy is for damage to intangible property. In this situation, the policy does not cover financial loss if there is no bodily injury or property damage that led to the financial loss. When software development really started to take off in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, insurers created CGL policy exclusions that would not cover property damage to components into which their product was inserted. Bresnahan cites the example of a silicon wafer being inserted into an electronic device. Although the circuit may not work, the wafer doesn’t “burn up and fry the inside of the device,” or otherwise cause “clear damage” to it, as Bresnahan notes. In this scenario, under the CGL policy, “the claims person would say, ‘No, sorry, you’ve got this impaired property exclusion,’” Bresnahan says. To respond to such risks, insurers came up with technology E&O policies. These responded to the needs of software developers who had “clear risk and exposure to their product not functioning correctly, but that may not necessarily be covered under a CGL policy.”

Spotlight On | Errors and Omissions (E&O)
A
n emerging class of professional consultants is a new area of opportunity for brokers seeking to place errors and omissions insurance. “We as a society have changed to become more service-oriented,” says Marilyn vanGansewinkel, vice president of specialty insurance solutions at Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company. “Where we used to do things ourselves a little more often, we’re more likely to hire someone who knows what they are doing to provide those services for us.” Specifically, vanGansewinkel sees three new areas of growth for E&O – technology, health care (particularly in the care of the elderly), and in the environmental field (climate change and consciousness). And who knows what sorts of professional business consultants may arise after cannabis officially goes to market on October 17? In the IT space, as we move towards artificial intelligence and insurtechs, “you are going to see a lot of professionals who are required to do the programming be-
hind the scenes, and fix things when they don’t work out well,” says vanGansewinkel. Also, the role of system database management is expected to grow. In health care, Canada’s aging population of Boomers will accentuate the need for health care services to be provided in specialized care facilities, as well as through home care assistance. Canada’s 2016 census showed there are 5.9 million Canadians older than 65 and 5.8 million Canadians 14 and younger. For the first time, seniors have outnumbered children in Canada. “I think we are going to have a lot of opportunity in the aging population’s health care,” says vanGansewinkel. Different classes of workers will need E&O coverage, including aid workers, physical therapists, health care providers, workers in retirement homes, registered nurses (RNs), and people who assist aging people to stay in their homes longer. In the environmental space, a new breed of professional is expected to arise out of concerns people have about
the environment. Consultants are expected to advise on emerging issues in the handling of recycling, for example, or on carbon tax, or the looming water shortage. Underwriters in this area will be looking at an environmental professional’s experience in the field, relevant education or certifications, business skills, and so on.
Quick Facts In professional liability lines, Canadian P&C insurers underwrote just over $1 billion in direct premiums in 2017, up from $986 million in 2016 – an increase of 3.8 per cent.

Spotlight On | Financial/Legal
I
n financial and legal lines of commercial insurance, the Canadian property and casualty insurance market has shown a greater willingness to serve clients who are engaged in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Representations and warranties (R&W) insurance is a type of financial-legal insurance used when one company is buying another in a merger or acquisition. It is intended to protect the buyer if a statement made by the seller turns out to be false. False or misleading statements during the M&A process can lead to a loss for the buyer if it assumes unanticipated liabilities. In a brochure on R&W insurance, American International Group (AIG) Inc. cites an example of an unnamed U.S.-based buyer facing allegations of price fixing by employees of the firm that it had just acquired. The allegations surfaced after the deal had closed. R&W “used to be so specialized, it was getting underwritten out of London or New York,” says Brian Kelly,
Montreal-based managing partner for risk management at BFL Canada Risk and Insurance Services. But recently the R&W market in Canada “has really expanded,” Kelly says. “There are more insurers and we are also able to do bilingual deals.” One issue with R&W is that the underwriting “gets very, very intense as the deal draws to a close,” Kelly observes. This is because there is a lot of “back-and-forth” involving the broker, er, client and underwriter. The underwriter needs to know what hat “representations” the seller is making ng about his or her company. So if the unnderwriter is based in London, England d– six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time me - and the deal is taking place in Canada, da, someone needs to be on the phone either early in the morning or late at night. ht. Other financial and legal lines of innsurance include crime coverage. Social ial engineering, a type of cyber crime, is normally covered under a crime policy. cy. An example is when a fraudster impersonn-
ates someone at a company, and thereby convinces an employee to transfer money to a fictious supplier. “For smaller and medium-sized organizations we see a benefit to actually including [social engineering] under a cyber policy as well,” Kelly says. “Computer hacking is a highly lucrative business. It’s a lot easier to commit a cyber crime than to rob a bank, and it can be a lot more lucrative.
Quick Facts Since 1985, more than 63,413 mergers & acquisitions transactions have been announced in Canada with a known value of almost $4.8 trillion.

n general liability lines, where pricing and competition are still healthy, brokers are more likely to notice windows of opportunity starting to close – particularly in the hot tar and hospitality lines. “Competition is out there, capacity is still out there, and a lot of markets are still quoting on the types of risks we see,” reports Tyson Peel, national property and casualty manager at Burns & Wilcox Canada. “But we are just starting to see the trend of a few specific operations or classes of business turn a little bit hard, which might see companies trend different ways on the premium.” One specific example is hot tar, or torch work on a roof. The Toronto Star reported an incident in April 2018 in which two eight-year-boys in a Toronto school were sent to hospital after hot tar fell through the school roof and burned them while they were in gym class.
Peel says it has become extremely difficult for brokers to get capacity or pricing on these types of accounts, and the Lloyd’s market is starting to clamp down on writing these types of risks. “I think it’s a culmination of larger losses that they’ve picked up throughout the past year,” Peel says. “For example, we’ve had renewal premiums on accounts with $10 million limits at $30,000, and the market comes back and says, ‘The max I can give you is $2 million, and now it’s $100,000 [premium].’ It’s a big change and an eyeopener for that class of business.” Hospitality is another rough one. Capacity is drying up for night clubs, bars, restaurants and lounges. Common claims liability exposures include failure to request ID, activity hazards (bar fights, falling off of mechanical bulls or bar stools), blocked or malfunctioning exits, flammable decorations, or – the big one – over-serving customers.
“I know they are all ‘smart serve,’ and they all like to say they all do that, but I think everyone can attest to going to a bar and seeing over-serving happening all the time,” Peel says. “They want to continue the business, but they want to be responsible. It’s a fine balance they have to walk.”
Quick Facts In comprehensive general liability lines (with products), Canadian property and casualty insurers took in direct premiums written of $3.2 billion, up from $3.1 billion in 2016 – a 3.1 per cent increase.

Usually, some sort of special forces experience is important because a lot of psychological issues arise when dealing with kidnappers.” Next, brokers should look at extensions under the policy. “For example, newly born children, are they automatically covered?” says Hirst. “In some policies, they’re not. Obviously, you need to make sure the entire family is covered because [kidnappers] don’t al-
ways kidnap the business person, they’ll try and kidnap a child.” Other extensions include post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological conditions, plastic surgery (for maiming or disfigurement) and coverage for travel. “The broker needs to be aware of where the client is travelling and advise the insurance companies accordingly,” Hirst says. “Because buying a kidnap and ransom policy for going to Newfoundland is going to be a lot cheaper than going into the jungle of Colombia looking for oil.” A K&R policy indemnifies the policyholder, meaning that policyholders must pay a ransom first before getting indemnity back from the insurance. “You’re not able to just get the insurance company to pay the kidnappers whatever it is that they’re demanding,” Hirst says. “The family actually has to pay the money to the kidnapper and then they get indemnity back afterwards.”
It’s also important to note the insurer will require the policyholder to prove their net worth. “You can’t just turn around and say, ‘I’m worth $5 million,’ or ‘I want to buy a K&R policy for $5 million,’” Hirst says. “The insurance companies will look at your net value or net worth and work out with you the limits of indemnity.”
Quick Facts Since 2001, 30 Canadian nationals have been kidnapped and held for ransom by terrorist groups while travelling or working abroad.

Spotlight On | Marine
B
rokers interested in selling marine insurance should target coverholders and managing general agents (MGAs) in Canada rather than going straight to the London market, advises Capt. John Hosty, national director of marine services at ClaimsPro. “There are a lot of MGAs and coverholders in Canada, and if brokers are selling marine, that’s where they should be selling. If you try to go straight to the London market, you’re probably going to get rebuffed, even by London brokers.” Canada is currently a very attractive marketplace for Lloyd’s. “I think the attraction is that the risks are better managed in Canada than they are in the United States,” Hosty says. Insurance risk management in the marine business is generally based on an actuarial approach, as opposed to a scientific approach. “So if the losses exceed a certain value, [carriers] pull out of that market, at least for a while,” Hosty explains.
Specifically, certain underwriters and their MGAs have reportedly pulled out of the pleasure craft business “because they took such a heavy hit down in the Caribbean last year,” Hosty reports. Hurricanes Harvey, Maria and Irma all tracked through the Caribbean before hitting the United States in 2017, ultimately causing estimated total insured damage losses of roughly $US85 billion. Other insurers have pulled out of the cargo market because they sustained heavy losses on container ships, including due to container ship fines. “I’m sure they’ll re-enter the market eventually,” Hosty predicts. Hosty is aware of other London-based underwriters, syndicates and insurers “that are moving towards cancelling, or certainly they are no longer issuing policies and they’re not renewing.” At the same time, he adds, at least two syndicates, and maybe three, “are putting out the feelers in Canada. Of those, two for sure will be doing something in 2019.”
Two trends in the market include: • Fewer small-value claims, since a lot of claims are going in-house with insurers. “I think that’s significant, especially for the small players in the game,” says Hosty. • A decline in project cargo placement, as players in the liquefied natural gas market are stepping away from major projects in western Canada.
Quick Facts Net premiums written in marine insurance in Saskatchewan nearly tripled to $6.04 million in 2017, from $2.18 million in 2016.

P
ollution liability is a risk some commercial clients don’t realize they have. Others may be aware of the risk, but mistakenly assume it is covered by an existing commercial general liability policy. Either way, brokers need to know what CGL policies exclude and where the pollution coverage gaps lie. Some CGL policies have endorsements covering sudden and accidental pollution; however, the coverage doesn’t apply if someone discovered contamination that originated years ago, warns Irin Bakhtiar, an environmental specialist with Zurich Canada. “The vast majority of pollution losses are what we call gradual losses,” Bakhtiar says. “They are losses that you might discover months, if not years, after the pollution event started. That would not qualify as [a sudden and accidental] claim under the majority of CGL endorsements.” Most provinces have laws allowing cleanup orders to be issued against “any person who owns, owned or has
or had management or control” over a contaminated property, regardless of how the contamination occurred and regardless of who is at fault, says Gowlings lawyer Harry Dahme. Many commercial insurance clients “don’t yet realize that they have exposures there, or they underestimate ar the exposures that they have,” Bakhtiar adds. Commercial brokers are advised to he talk to clients about exclusions in the m CGL that would prevent them from bmaking claims if they are sued or subnject them to fines or penalties in connection with a pollution incident. Suppose, for example, you have a ycommercial client who owns a dryre cleaning business. “Even if they are ls, using some of the greener chemicals, ld they are still using chemicals that could milead to soil and ground water contamihe nation,” Bakhtiar warns. “Point to the er ways in which the CGL would never ahave paid for [a spill of hazardous maar terial] because it was discovered a year too late.”
By the same token, a client who is a construction contractor might think, ‘Well I am not using hazardous materials in my construction.” But they may not be thinking of their hidden storage tank, Bakhtiar said. “That is a real pollution exposure for which they need dedicated pollution coverage.”
Quick Facts Globally in 2017, based on an analysis of just over 100,000 claims in various areas, the average environmental damage claim was $3.6 million in 2017, and the median environmental damage claim was $20,487.

rokers looking to place certain types of sports insurance should be aware of any professional liability exclusions being written into liability wording. Gina Bennett, vice president of Markel Canada’s western region, says professional liability exclusions could touch on the insured status of fitness instructors or coaches. She is the former president of Allsport Insurance, a managing general agent fully acquired by Markel in April 2017. “This is important for fitness instructors or coaches who provide training advice,” Bennett says. “While a delicate subject, we do not believe a court would consider a ‘fitness leader’ to be a ‘professional.’ However, if a fitness client alleges damages other than bodily injury, a standard liability wording would not respond if it contains a professional liability exclusion.” Any allegations of bodily injury would likely be protected by commercial general liability coverage, she adds.
Normally, a ‘professional’ would be a graduate of an institute of higher learning – such as a lawyer, doctor, dentist or accountant, for example. They would be subject to the rules and regulations of a self-governing body. Brokers should also be aware of their clients’ cyber exposures: many fitness instructors conduct training online or by streaming. Sports associations also collect and store members’ personal data, including medical information, that could be breached. Higher-risk sports and leisure sports are being carefully underwritten, Bennett observes. Carriers are undertaking a close review of concussion protocols for collision or contact sports, and supplemental application is required by some insurers. Participation appears to be declining in concussion risk sports such as martial arts activities, football, hockey, and baseball. Other tips for brokers selling sports insurance include: • Ensure that sport, recreational and fitness organizers have robust waivers that
have been vetted by a lawyer. Ensure the waiver notes that the participant assumes all risks, including the negligence of employees (and all releasees); • Review sports carriers’ websites and applications. Make sure applications are completed in full, since there are reasons why each question is asked; and • Research risk management required for each sport.
Quick Facts The amateur sports insurance market in Canada is estimated to be $40 million, with participation levels strong in most sports. There are approximately 7.3 million registered sports participants country wide.

anada’s tourist boom is creating a big opportunity for brokers in travel insurance lines. “Brokers should take advantage of opportunities to ask their clients whether or not they have any friends or family travelling from abroad,” says Dan Keon, director of marketing and communications at Allianz Global Assistance in Canada. “In the same way that [visitors to Canada] are planning what they are going to do and see, a question they should be asking is: ‘Do we have travel insurance in place when we are coming over?’ If they don’t, then the good thing about ‘visitors to Canada’ insurance is that it is available in Canada for the host to purchase on behalf of their visiting family or friends.” Visitors to Canada insurance is not a new segment of travel insurance – it has been around for a few years – but it’s fast becoming more popular as tourism to Canada increases. Last year, 20.8 million tourists visited Canada as a destina-
tion, according to Statistics Canada — a new record. Keon observes a common misconception that Canada’s universal health care system applies to visitors from abroad — it does not. Unlike Canadian residents with health care coverage, visitors to Canada will receive a direct bill for medical services rendered, and these bills can be quite high. A one-day stay at a Canadian hospital can cost up to $4,000 a day, for example. Or an emergency room visit can leave a visitor to Canada up to $1,000 out of pocket. When placing visitors to Canada insurance, the broker takes down the name of the actual insureds, who receive a copy of the policy. But this can be arranged on the visitor’s behalf by the host family or friends in Canada. “Whether due to a language barrier, or the difficulty of calling into a broker from abroad, sometimes it’s just easier for the host family or friend to book [the insurance] on [the visitor’s] behalf,” Keon says.
Such insurance is designed to cover unforeseen or unexpected medical costs. Coverage could be for minor things such as an ear infection or a walk-in clinic visit, or more serious conditions such as appendicitis, a hip fracture, or something requiring hospital admission as an in-patient.
Quick Facts Between January and April 2018, 1.4 million non-resident travellers outside of the United States have visited Canada. The majority came from Europe and Asia.
