Risk Management and Litigation PRESENTED BY: Kerry F. Partridge City Attorney
Department of Law-Risk Management • Liability Insurance • The City purchased liability insurance in November of 2011. • Our insurance carrier is Travelers, Inc. • The City is insured up to $10 million dollars. • However, we have a “self-insured retention” of $500,000. • The self-insured retention is not cumulative. • Therefore, on large claims we still need to pay the first $500,000 of each claim.
Department of Law-Risk Management • Liability Insurance, continued. • Litigation reports all potentially large claims to Travelers. • Travelers then assigns a “reserve” to each claim based upon severity. • Litigation reports a handful of claims each year. • Examples of reported claims include police officer involved shootings and major accidents involving death or serious injury. • Thus far, we have not experienced a major covered loss through insurance.
Department of Law-Risk ManagementAchievements • Lawsuits received in 2012 have been at or below historical average. • Cases closed in 2012 have exceeded historical average. • Outlay amounts in late 2012 and early 2013 have been below historical average. • Cases won v. settlements have been consistent with historical average.
Department of Law-Risk ManagementAreas of Improvement • Continuous improvement in cases won v. settlements. • Improve consistency of cash outlays per quarter. • Close more files per quarter. • Reduce new lawsuits by improving the claim resolution process.
