Series Get The Most Out Of Monument Insurance

Pdf Summary

This article, part of a series, helps CWA members understand and fully use the CWA Insurance Program, the partnership with Monument Sports Group launched in 2013 that has become one of the CWA's premier member offerings. As both organizations have grown, so has the program, yet many members don't know its full story or how to take advantage of it. The piece centers on a standout session from the 2023 Summit: An Executive's Guide to Claim Handling, a highly attended panel led by Monument Sports Group. What made it remarkable was the access it offered, attendees could question a nationally recognized lead counsel and a senior claims adjuster who is also an attorney, both directly involved in the CWA Insurance Program's claims process. The article stresses how rare this is: it's very unusual for policyholders to gain insight directly from the people handling their claims. This access illustrates Monument's distinctive commitment. The article argues Monument's value to the industry is about more than saving premium dollars, it focuses on a strong risk management foundation, including claims handling. Charles Gfeller, Esq., of Gfeller Laurie LLP, one of the defense counsels for the CWA Insurance Program, describes how the panel let attendees ask questions and better understand how claims work, while giving him the chance to engage with clients and industry friends and offer insight that helps everyone. The throughline is that the CWA Insurance Program is a deeper partnership than a typical insurance relationship, offering members not just coverage but education and direct access to the legal and claims expertise behind it. By demystifying claims handling and connecting members with the counsel and adjusters who manage their cases, Monument builds risk management capability across the industry, and this series aims to help members recognize and use the full value of a partnership many have only partially tapped.
