Risk Transfer: Navigating BIPA Insurance Policies (feat. George Manos)

Mary and Josh are excited to welcome insurance attorney George Manos to The BIPA Radar! George is a Partner in Lewis Brisbois’ Chicago office, and has focused his practice on insurance coverage claims and disputes throughout the country. In Episode 6, George breaks down insurance ramifications from the hotly anticipated Illinois Supreme Court decisions in Cothron v. White Castle Systems and Tims v. Black Horse Carriers, which may implicate more insurance policies that were issued several years ago. George also discusses the differences between occurrence-based and claims-made policies, whether general liability insurance can cover BIPA claims, and predictions for the future of BIPA coverage litigation. This is a can’t-miss conversation for Illinois businesses seeking clarity on how their existing coverage policies may protect them from BIPA lawsuits.
