Improving the auto signed forms request process

Process changes are coming for small commercial auto policy request forms. These changes will collectively add up to a smoother, quicker process of receiving the signed forms your clients require. More importantly, they will minimize risk and allow us to more accurately and competitively rate our products. You and your clients and prospects will reap the benefits! So what’s changing?

 

  • This process will affect new business and endorsements.
  • The current 30 calendar-day deadline for returning policyholder selection/rejection/acknowledgement signed forms for UM/UIM is reducing to 15 business days. Now, you will have 10 business days to respond to form requests, then five more business days after a second request is issued. After that, if a signed form is not obtained, we will update to the required limits.
  • Shortening this timeline means minimizing the opportunities for uninsured accidents to happen while we wait for forms to arrive.
  • Notifications about form requests will be clearer about deadlines and next steps if they aren’t met.
  • Requests for signed forms will be coming from LMEndorsements@LibertyMutual.com

 

This updated process goes into effect on April 12, 2021, for Liberty Mutual small commercial auto policies.

Business lines communicable disease exclusion

COVID-19 has brought a host of uncertainties into the small commercial insurance space, among them potential exposures to virus-related liability claims. Of particular concern are future pandemics that could drive outsized losses and undermine our ability to offer profitable small commercial insurance products. Effective Feb. 1, 2021*, when you write new general liability, BOP, simple BOP and umbrella policies in eCLIQ® for certain classes – such as janitorial services, healthcare facilities and personal care services – the system will automatically apply the communicable disease exclusion. Existing policies in the same classes will have the exclusion applied at renewal effective June 1, 2021.

 

Note that underwriters may, at their discretion, attach the exclusion to other classes of business, depending on the exposures presented. They will alert you to this change should they do so. Renewals with the automatically attached exclusion will include a policyholder notice. Have questions about how the exclusion works and which classes it affects? Contact your underwriter or territory manager for more information.

 

*The communicable disease exclusion is currently active for both new business and renewing general liability, BOP, simple BOP and umbrella policies in all states except HI, IL, NY, TX and WA. We will communicate any changes in filings in these states separately as needed.
