Why AIG

Problem Solvers

Issue: A multinational shipbuilding operations and technology company sought Cyber coverage with its marine liability policy.

Solution: The AIG Marine Liability team worked closely with the AIG Cyber team to amend  a Cyber Edge product to drop down and avoid a gap in coverage for the client.

Benefits: The client was impressed by AIG’s resources, coordination between departments and eagerness to  find a solution.

 

Creative Solutions

Issue: A marine terminal operator was seeking coverage for local placements in multiple countries.

Solution: AIG put together a large multinational program, developing unique policy wording with the broker and client to properly cover the client’s terminal operators’ risks locally.

Benefits: The client was happy that the  local placements were insured under one program with the  strength and expertise of  AIG’s Multinational team.

Claims Expertise

Issue: An insured allowed a lawsuit to go into default in Florida in a construction defect case involving a wharf built for a condominium project in Miami which jeopardized potential coverage of loss.

Solution: AIG immediately assigned defense counsel to file a motion with the court  to set aside the default and protect  the insured’s interests.

Benefits: The default was removed with  no harm to the insured.
