The
MCS-90 Book: Truckers versus Insurers and the Government Makes Three,
published by the International Risk Management Institute (IRMI) is the
result of a research project of the CPCU
Societys Consulting, Litigation, & Expert Witness (CLEW) Interest Group.
The MCS-90 endorsement is a highly misunderstood and increasingly litigated
one-page insurance endorsement required by the Motor Carrier Act of
1980 to be attached to policies covering auto liability exposures of
certain types of businesses, such as motor carriers. Its purpose is
to certify that the insured maintains a minimum level of financial responsibility
for compensating others involved in truck accidents that result in bodily
injury, property damage, or environmental damage. The book uncovers
many potential pitfalls, coverage traps, underwriting concerns, and
claims issues lying under the surface of this endorsement. Anyone who
buys, sells, or underwrites insurance for motor carriers or adjusts
trucking insurance claims will benefit from this book.
This research project
was headed by CLEW Interest Group members Gregory G. Deimling, CPCU, ARM,
AMIM, principal of Gregory G. Deimling and Associates and also a
principal of Globe Insurance Agency, Inc.; George M. Gottheimer Jr.,
Ph.D., CPCU, CLU, ARe, president and CEO of Kernan Associates, Inc.;
Donald S. Malecki, CPCU, chairman and CEO of Donald S. Malecki
& Associates, Inc.; and Lynn S. Redmile, assistant secretary
and director of research at Kernan Associates, Inc.
