First Party Insurance Committee
Mission Statement The First Party Insurance Committee’s goal is to foster, through written materials and arranging panel discussions at ACCEC events, an understanding of the key, emerging issues relating to first-party coverages whether substantive, related to trial practice or extra-contractual. Principally, the work of the Committee will concern property coverages; however, as significant court rulings may impact life, health and disability and other first-party coverages, the Committee will work to enhance and bring current policy holder and insurer understanding of those issues as well. The Committee offers high-quality and current educational programs and materials for and by seasoned practitioners. It also fosters a high-level and balanced dialogue among members on relevant issues in a way designed to balance the needs, concerns, and understanding of both policyholder- and insurer-side counsel.
2023-2024 Co-Chairs Melissa Sims TBD
