Drew Rothman of RT New Day to Address Wood-Frame Construction Trends &

Challenges at CLM Annual Conference

Hamilton, NJ, February 14, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Drew Rothman of RT Specialty's National Environmental
and Construction Professional Liability Practice will address the wood-frame construction boom and the
challenges confronting today's contractors at the 2019 CLM Annual Conference to be held March 13 - 15
at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Florida.

Titled “TIMBER!! Wood-frame Construction Claims, and How They Come Crashing Down,” the March
15th session is dedicated to the trends, insurance implications and common elements driving the rise of
claims in this segment of the construction marketplace. The panel discussion will also include Chantell
Cornett of The Ward Group, Rose Hoyle of AXA XL, Brenda Radmacher of Gordon & Rees LLP, and
Franklin Turner of Rogers Townsend & Thomas.

“Wood-frame construction has become an increasingly popular method for cost-effectively building
everything from mid-rise apartments to senior living facilities and mixed-use developments,” says
Rothman. “Other benefits include eco-friendly, versatile designs that offer strong structural integrity and
timely completion rates.

“The challenge is that the industry's claims and exposures have risen dramatically along with its growing
proliferation. While insurance may not be the only way to address liability, it is critical for strategically
preparing against all forms of challenges in this highly litigious marketplace.”

During this panel discussion, Rothman will focus on the various Construction-Related Professional
Liability and Environmental insurance concerns facing contractors involved in wood-frame projects as
well as the importance of assessing each carrier's coverage options, terms and conditions. Rothman will
also discuss carrier appetites and the consideration of certain factors when writing wood-frame
contractor's policies, including but not limited to:

- The specific work to be performed, including size and scope of the project
- The contractor's wood-framing experience
- Methods of mold prevention, with mold being a significant pollution concern
