In the 50-minute session titled “Catastrophe Fraud: Handling Claims from Wildfires and Hurricanes and Investigating Fraud When It Looks Everything Is Destroyed,” Mr. Hailey and co-panelist Gene Weisberg (Gladstone Weisberg) will explore how to identify and investigate potential fraud in catastrophe claims — such as wildfires, hurricanes, and earthquakes — by examining common schemes, addressing sensitive conversations with policyholders, and managing the logistical challenges of widespread disaster-related claims.

He focuses on assisting insurance and corporate clients in detecting, deterring, and defeating fraud in construction, premises, transportation, and general litigation matters, including coverage.
