Topic Overview:
When it comes to loss prevention liability, there are some sobering realities that shopkeepers and insurance providers must face.
Despite best efforts to implement security, investigation and reporting best practices, claims may still arise as a result of customer interactions with loss prevention personnel. An easy target for thieves, the retail industry also represents the kind of deep pockets that attract litigation.
This webinar challenged your assumptions about loss prevention liability. It also examined the various types of claims that arise in the retail setting and discuss the shopkeeper’s potential liability and defenses.
Specific topics included:
- Most common claims resulting from interactions between asset protection personnel and customers/guests
- Elements a claimant must prove and hurdles he/she must overcome to successfully bring such claims
- Applicable statutory privileges under Michigan law
- Potential liability for non-employees (i.e., law enforcement)
- Best practices for avoiding and defending such claims
Intended audience for This Webinar:
This webinar was designed to benefit retail business owners, corporate risk managers, security directors and insurance claims professionals.
