Probability Disribution Preseantaion (Motorcycle)
Motorcycle accidents are a serious problem, with over 5,000 motorcycle fatalities nationwide in 2007. Risk factors for motorcycle accidents include riding without a license or training, not wearing a helmet, riding while intoxicated, and speeding. In Pennsylvania specifically, there were over 4,000 motorcycle accidents in 2007 resulting in 225 fatalities. Proper safety precautions like wearing a helmet, which can reduce the risk of death by 37%, are strongly recommended as motorcycle fatalities continue to rise each year.

The document discusses the potential effects of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) on Protection and Indemnity (P&I) insurance. It notes that the MLC could impact P&I insurance by requiring coverage for sickness and injury compensation, expenses due to crew abandonment, and financial security in the event of insolvency. The document concludes by noting that P&I clubs will keep their members updated as countries implement the MLC through national legislation based on recommendations from the International Group of P&I Clubs.
Our Insights into Antitrust Trends
In this inaugural publication, we look at the current key antitrust trends, focusing not only on established regions for antitrust such as the EU and the US but also growth regions such as Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East – looking at both merger control and antitrust enforcement. We highlight the main merger control risks for businesses contemplating an M&A transaction and consider practical ways of avoiding or minimising those risks. We also shine a spotlight on three sectors that have experienced particular scrutiny from the authorities of late: financial services, information technology and pharmaceuticals.
EDAM Presentation - 'Restitutio ad Integrum'
Brenda Mitchell, specialist motorcycle Lawyer and Senior Partner at Motorcycle Law Scotland, talks about how she manages compensation claims for injured motorcyclists on a daily basis, dealing with insurance companies, medical experts and rehabilitation specialists. The focus is on trying to get injured motorcyclists back to the position they were in prior to the incident as much as possible.

The document discusses various topics related to risk management and insurance. It begins by summarizing a review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of insurers' handling of commercial claims, noting potential areas for improvement such as loss scenario planning, interim payments, transparency around legal counsel, and consistency in burden of proof requirements. It then discusses risks related to intellectual property for businesses, including value, defense against infringement, attack if rights are infringed, and contract indemnities. Finally, it discusses the importance of insurance due diligence for mergers and acquisitions to help buyers avoid surprises after taking ownership of a target company.

CBI’s Statement on PRIA to Congressional Subcommittee
The House Financial Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Housing, Community Development and Insurance will hold a hearing on Thursday November 19, 2020 entitled Insuring Against a Pandemic: Challenges and Solutions for Policyholders and Insurers. The hearing is expected to focus on the Pandemic Risk Insurance Act (HR 7011) introduced in May by Representative Maloney of New York.
The Centers for Better Insurance is submitting the attached Statement for the Record which warns this well-intended legislation (as well as the excess program in the joint industry Business Continuity Protection Program) would:
• Leave small businesses, nonprofits, and local governments in no better position during future pandemics than they are today as they struggle to survive COVID-19 lockdown orders while battling their insurance companies in court; and
• Grant large corporations license to design their own multi-billion-dollar taxpayer funded pandemic bailouts free from Congressional oversight, U.S. Treasury supervision, and public scrutiny.
PRIA is based on the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) thereby adopting and amplifying its two greatest shortcomings:
• PRIA would remove only the “virus exclusion” from small business insurance policies. More than 80% of court cases dismissing small business claims for COVID-19 business interruption so far have been based on a lack of “direct physical loss or damage” – not the virus exclusion alone. PRIA is no more than a ticket for small businesses, nonprofits, and local governments to head back to court to litigate whether a virus can cause property damage as their businesses crumple under the weight of future pandemic lockdown orders.
• PRIA would allow large corporations to set up their own personal insurance companies (known as “captives”) offering their owners generous pandemic coverages with 95% of the cost transferred to the American taxpayer. According to U.S. Treasury, up to 95 cents of every dollar paid out under TRIA following a future terrorist attack would pass through captives on the way to the coffers of large corporations. No doubt large corporations would likewise siphon off the lion’s share PRIA’s payouts through these secretive special purpose vehicles.
The American taxpayer in on the hook for “only” 80% of the $100 billion TRIA program. Perhaps continued tolerance of that program’s well-known defects is somehow justifiable. However, there can be no justification to replicate these defects and extrapolate them into a taxpayer liability for 95% of a $750 billion program.

The document discusses various challenges and opportunities facing the aviation industry. Technological changes are helping airlines meet growing demand for air travel while coping with high fuel prices and environmental regulations. New materials and automated systems allow for more fuel efficient aircraft, helping address concerns over aviation's carbon emissions. However, risks remain from geopolitical instability, public health issues, and intense competition within the industry. The rapid pace of innovation could help aviation continue its trajectory of overcoming adversity through technological progress.
Public RM Journal
This document provides an overview of the Summer 2015 edition of the Public RM magazine. It includes:
- A preview of sessions at the upcoming Alarm National Educational Forum, including a session challenging conventional approaches to defending claims.
- A summary of the Chairman's comments, where he discusses recent governance failings in local councils and questions if lack of resources has led to corners being cut in important areas like governance and risk management.
- The contents page listing various articles in the magazine on topics like insurance, charities, children's services, and cyber security.
InsuranceDay article 26 February 2016
This document provides an analysis of how the ongoing civil war in Yemen represents a shift in modern warfare that changes the risks faced by war and political violence insurers in London. The conflict marks the first time that Saudi Arabia and its allies have independently intervened militarily in the region without Western support. This has created new challenges for underwriters as they must now account for unpredictable regional powers directly engaging in conflicts. The article uses comments from an underwriter to argue that events in Yemen reflect a paradigm shift that makes the risks faced by insurers more difficult than ever to model and foresee.
Cyber liability FINAL
Cyber liability insurance provides coverage for both losses a business suffers directly from a cyber incident, such as a hack or cyber extortion attempt, as well as liability to third parties for damages from security or privacy breaches. It covers expenses related to investigations, notification of affected customers, reputational damage, business interruption, theft, and more. The document recommends that any business that handles customer data, is subject to payment industry standards, relies on IT systems, or has a website consider obtaining cyber liability insurance due to the high likelihood of experiencing a successful cyber attack.
Pension Changes 2015
This document summarizes the key risks and opportunities related to pension changes in 2015 in the UK. The top six risks are listed as fraudulent investment schemes, unexpected tax bills, giving up final salary guarantees, pension pots running out too soon, investments not meeting expectations, and overestimating state benefits. It also discusses challenges facing pension trustees such as communicating budget flexibilities. Overall, the document outlines issues and considerations surrounding recent UK pension reforms being implemented in 2015.

Willis Market Update - Aug 2015
This document provides a summary of the insurance market in Australia for the first half of 2015. It notes that competition has led to lower premiums for clients with good risk management. Insurers have retained more risk internally to reduce costs. Emerging risks like cyber threats, cloud computing, drones and terrorism present new challenges. The outlook discusses specific sectors like mining, which faces pressure from low commodity prices, and power generation, which has surplus capacity due to low economic growth. The document advises clients to ensure their insurance programs are sustainable in the current competitive market environment.

By monitoring the signals/narrative in the environment it is possible to identify which are perking, which are trending and which are early or weak signals of change. Depending how adept you are in the process, it is possible to predict the outcome/influence of a trend and to develop foresight.How-to-start-a-captive
The article discusses how captives are increasingly being used by middle market companies as part of their enterprise risk management strategies. Captives allow mid-sized companies to reduce insurance costs, protect some assets, and insure risks not covered by the commercial markets. Some additional benefits of captives for mid-market firms include rewarding employees through ownership and creating tax-efficient claims reserves. The article argues that captives, when properly structured, can help mid-sized businesses holistically manage risks across their organizations in a more integrated manner through their enterprise risk management programs.

Part 1: Working on asbestos roofs can be dangerous due to the risk of falling through fragile materials. Asbestos roof sheeting is not always strong enough to support a person's weight. Several deaths have occurred due to falls from asbestos roofs during maintenance work.
Part 2: Strict safety measures must be followed when working on asbestos roofs, including fall protection equipment, planning, training for workers, and supervision. Demolition of buildings with asbestos roofs requires the asbestos to be removed first, usually by licensed contractors using controlled methods to minimize dust.
Part 3: Asbestos roofs must be identified and included in asbestos management plans. The Control of Asbestos

We held a free workshops on preparing for automatic enrolment for National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) members on November 13th, at NCVO headquarters in Central London. Lucas Fettes & Partners is a Trusted Supplier to NCVO.
Here are the slides from the workshop which covered what you need to do and when.
New laws mean every organisation must automatically enrol certain workers* into a suitable workplace pension scheme and contribute towards it. If you already have a workplace pension scheme, you need to ensure it meets the minimum requirements. Employers who don’t comply could face a range of fines, starting from a fixed penalty of £400 and escalating to fines of at least £50 per day for non-compliance.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
