AM Best to Host Webinar on Assessing Roof Risk for the Home Insurance Industry

AM Best will host a complimentary webinar, sponsored by LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at 2 p.m. (EDT). Roof losses are close to half of all home insurance loss claims and are growing. The home insurance industry has struggled for years to adopt a better approach to managing this critical area of exposure. In fact, according to the most recent LexisNexis Risk Solutions Home Trends Report, hail losses increased by 20% in a single year. Traditional methods of managing roof risk based on age and on-site inspections are no longer good enough. Therefore, the industry is mobilizing around new technologies and data aimed at addressing this critical problem.
