Tackling legalized cannabis and insurance hurdles, this Tues., July 23 at 2 PM
Join us this Tuesday for a free webinar examining the many issues insurers face as they venture into the cannabis world.
The legalization of marijuana has given the insurance industry plenty of challenges over the years, and now as state regulations continue to change and the cannabis industry grows, insurers across all lines of business are offered new business opportunities. However, the conflict between state and federal regulations make the business of insuring cannabis companies all too hazy.
This Tuesday, July 23 at 2 p.m. ET, take an in-depth look at the insurance issues surrounding legalized cannabis as NU Claims editor-in-chief Patricia Harman leads a free webinar that will examine the risks for insurers, marijuana-related businesses, and companies whose employees may use marijuana medically or recreationally.
Joining the panel to lend their insights on the subject will be Teresa Bartlett, M.D., senior medical officer of Sedgwick; Patrick McManamon, CEO of Cannasure; and Ian Stewart, an attorney in the Los Angeles office of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, LLP.
Among some of the topics, the webinar panel will tackle questions including:
- What are the coverage issues that marijuana-touching businesses face and how do they differ from other commercial enterprises?
- What are the risks for insurers who decide to provide coverage to these businesses?
- What legal issues could insurers encounter if they enter into this new market opportunity?
- Are insurers obligated to pay for medical marijuana or cannabis products?
In addition to the upcoming webinar, NU Propertycasualty360.com has assembled a special package of pertinent articles on key topics, such as risks surrounding employee marijuana use and insurers’ main cannabis concerns, to provide brokers essential information on how to better assist cannabis clients as they navigate a complex insurance environment.
Register here for the webinar. NU Claims, NU Property & Casualty, NU Propertycasualty360.com and FC&S are also offering a special report that addresses many of these issues surrounding legalized cannabis to webinar attendees. Any questions should be directed to pharman@alm.com.
