Business Relations / Economics of Assured
Priority Conflicts
Decisions can be based upon Assured’s business or economic issues as opposed to minimizing claim:
Ex: drilling contractors/other contractors left on standby
Properties which have greater impact on bottom line may be priority - not necessarily insured properties
