The Merritt Commercial
Risks Manual and Strategies for Insurance
Coverage Manual have been standard insurance
industry reference texts for more than 40 years. These
multi-volume encyclopedias explore the breadth of complex
insurance in comprehensive detail. And they explain it
all in plain English . They have answers for just about
any question that may come up; and they're designed to
help you put together detailed presentations or white
papers quickly and professionally.
The Merritt/CRM is a tactical guide to
business insurance—detailing policy forms, coverage
and claims issues and market conditions. The Merritt/SFC
is a broader, more strategic view of the business
insurance marketplace. It explains why certain coverages
work they way they do. It describes the excess and surplus
markets. And it looks into how particular markets like
Lloyd’s of London and the Bermuda reinsurance niche
operate.
The electronic editions of these Manuals come together
on one CD-ROM that allows you to use the content as you
need it. You can search of the texts for specific words
or phrases—or you can use the tables of contents
to guide yourself through specific topics. You can add
your own notes to the discussion. And you can cut and
paste key passages for use in white papers or presentations.
Whether you're looking for plain English explanations
of the intricacies of aviation coverage or the technical
language to get the right CGL quote from a big carrier,
these Manuals have what you need.
The Merritt/CRM
is a tactical guide to business insurance—detailing
policy forms, coverage and claims issues and market conditions.
