AFA Conference Session: Fiduciary Professional Liability Claims Review

The AFA is pleased to announce that it has added the following session to our March 4 - 5, 2010 conference agenda:

Fiduciary Professional Liability Claims Review

This session will survey several real-life professional liability fiduciary claims in order to examine the circumstances that gave rise to those claims, to explore preventative measures for avoiding such circumstances, and ultimately such claims.

He has drafted various insurance policy forms for international insurers, and has advised on coverage matters both in the U.S. and abroad.

PERSONAL INJURY/HIPPA

Division Two of the Arizona Court of Appeals held in special action proceeding that when plaintiff’s decedent shared a hospital room with a fellow patient who witnessed events material to plaintiff’s claims against the hospital and other defendants, the trial court did not violate the witness’s physician-patient privilege by ordering the defendant hospital to disclose to plaintiff’s counsel, under seal, the name, address, and telephone number of the witness.
