In an era when $1-billion claims events have become commonplace, Canadian claims executives are turning their minds to how to adjust natural disasters that follow closely upon the heels of one another.

Canadian Underwriter hosted a free webinar on Aug. 27 to examine trends in Canadian catastrophe events, how they get adjusted, who adjusts the claims, and most critically, whether the Canadian P&C industry is able to marshal the resources to take on multiple claims at once in the future.

The expert panel included, Skip McHardy, chief operational officer, catastrophe response, CRU Group, Fred VanDine, section manager of property field claims for the Ontario, Atlantic and Western Regions of Desjardins Insurance and Glenn McGillivray, managing director of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction.
