A Research On Insurance Industry

Identifying what the risks are will enable a sports manager to develop a plan of action to decrease the liability to the organization. This can be done through yearly audits of physical facilities, athletic programs, current emergency procedures or protocol, and employees of the organization. Furthermore, identifying areas of risk is an ongoing process that needs to be a priority for sport and recreational managers (Wolohan, 2013). The risks associated with the physical structure of buildings and bodily injury are usually the main focus of assessments. The non-tangible aspect of identifying risk is to assess employees of an organization. Performing criminal background checks and drug testing of potential hires and current employees is highly recommended (Wolohan, 2013). Within any organization there is the potential for sexual harassment, discrimination, intentional torts, assault, battery, and wrongful termination to name a few (Wolohan, 2013). Therefore, identifying

Effective February 7, 2013, SeaBright Insurance Company (“Seabright”), a Seattle-based insurance company specializing in workers compensation, entered into run-off. In 2012, Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar”), a run-off specialist, purchased SeaBright. SeaBright continues to manage existing claims but no longer writes new or renewal business, which means that premium activity has slowed down. In 2015, a major change occurred when all of SeaBright’s net liabilities (i.e. loss reserves associated with its prior workers comp business) were shifted to an Enstar affiliate, Clarendon National Insurance Company, through a reinsurance agreement. Circumstances that led the company to run-off: SeaBright was placed into run-off driven by weakened underwriting performance associated with reserve strengthening actions for accident years 2007 through 2009, primarily related to increasing medical cost trends. Additionally, SeaBright was facing marketplace challenges associated with its geographic and coverage lines expansion. Seabright has had to deal with significant pressure from its workers comp book developing adversely year-over-year and having to liquidate investments to satisfy claims and expenses. The reinsurance contract with Clarendon did provide major relief but SeaBright still remains a going concern and without premiums coming in and asset base rapidly shrinking, its solvency status as an insurance company remains questionable. The key now is to track the level of credit risk

Before the advent of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 1933 and the general conception of government safety nets, the United States banking industry was quite different than it is today. Depositors assumed substantial default risk and even the slightest changes in consumer confidence could result in complete turmoil within the banking world. In addition, bank managers had almost complete discretion over operations. However, today the financial system is among the most heavily government- regulated sectors of the U.S. economy. This drastic change in public policy resulted directly from the industry’s numerous pre-regulatory failures and major disruptions that produced severe economic and social

been increasing interest in Congress and significant sectors of the insurance industry to establish some form of federal insurance regulation” (Grace, & Klein, 2009). There are many different arguments for those opposed and those in favor of federal regulation.

In the past, the ruling financial systems, such as agencies and laws, led to certain areas of the market without regulation. One of the areas, lacking regulation, was the protection of consumers from aggressive or “bad” financial products. In this sense, Title X of the Dodd-Franck Act creates a new regulatory agency, the CFPB, whose mandate and mission is

The Insurance industry is very heavily state regulated. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) study, the state run regulatory system is Federal verses State Regulation protecting the markets, insurance industry and policy holders and was evidenced during the financial crisis of 2008-09. The insurance business is highly profitable. “Well-run companies can make a lot of money, which breeds competition” from both “inside and outside competitors” (Property, 2013). Insurance companies were well “insulated” from the “severe” financial crisis of 2007-2008 that affected the banks and security firms, because the State regulations have the Insurance Industry “walled off” from Federal Regulations (Property, 2013). During the “Great Depression of the 1930s” “Insurance policy holders were protected by the states’ prudent supervision and regulation” (Property, 2013).

Secondary insurance is an insurance policy that pays for some of the patient's medical expenses that primary health insurance does not pay, for example, the deductable and co-payments (p.78). SpringChart does not record that insurance policies because most practitioners do not find that information as useful as the primary health insurance policy (p. 78).

While it is important to examine the outcomes of safety performance, it becomes an issue when incentives are offered for fewer injuries and a better safety outcome (Geller, 2000). According to Geller, linking the safety performance system to an incentive system will result in workers hiding injuries and failing to report incidents and near misses all in an attempt to reduce the statistics to receive an incentive (Geller, 2000). The purpose then becomes defeated because the incentive/reward process tends to motivate a safety process that will influence the outcome (Geller, 2000).

Chapter nine of Reading In Risk examines the risks involved with the amelioration of other risks. Although we are in the safest time period in history as a culture we seem preoccupied with risks and their reduction. Though on the surface this seems like a good thing how do we decide what risks to concentrate on, not all of them will happen. A further consideration to account for is that by using resources we deplete future resources to deal with the shocks that were caused by risks we did not address or novel ones that arose because we displaced the risk instead of reducing the net risk. This is problematic for government agencies because they often disagree on important risk reduction strategies since they are focused on various risks and
