Summary

Dan Law of the Liberty Company Insurance Brokers stops by the podcast today to discuss all things risk management. To be completely honest, I didn't anticipate that this would be an interesting topic to talk about. However, as we dug into the complexities of what goes into preventing claims, mitigating risks, and the four types of policies every practice should have, I became increasingly fascinated. Even if you have nothing to do with your company's liability policies, you may want to give this episode a listen. Dan also shares some stories about unusual insurance claims that some of his clients have faced. These stories sound like they came straight out of one of those State Farm TV commercials! If you're interested in learning more about the types of coverage the Liberty Company offers, they've set up a special page for BOP listeners. This podcast is supported by a joint-initiative between myself and the Applied Behavior Analysis Center. I'm excited to announce that on May 16th, 2018, I will be joined by Session 15 guest, Rich Brooks, and Adrienne Fitzer, owner of ABAC, to talk about ethical strategies to market your agency or organization. For more information, including an abstract for the event, visit the ABAC website. We are also proud to be sponsored by Chartlytics. Chartlytics is a single, comprehensive system for behavior reduction and academic improvement using the principles of Precision Teaching. Chartlytics has modernized the practices of PT by simplifying the data collection, visual analysis, and reporting processes that have historically formed barriers for implementation.

0:12.0	Welcome to the Behavioral Observations podcast, stimulating talk for today's behavior analysts.
0:19.4	Now here's your host, Matt Secoria.
0:23.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome to session 48 of the Behavioral Observations podcast. I am joined today by
0:29.2	Dan Law of the Liberty Insurance Company, and we're going to talk about insurance. Yay!
0:36.1	So, before you start looking for another podcast to listen to, or before
0:41.4	you start typing an angry email to me saying, why are you having, you know, this on instead
0:45.8	of something about ethics or functional assessment or act or whatever, let me explain
0:52.2	here for a minute. This episode was something that was suggested to me to consider
0:58.3	I threw it out to some groups on social media particularly the ABA business builders group
1:05.5	and the response was pretty overwhelming that this is a topic that people are pretty interested in.
1:12.5	And I'm going to be honest with you, I found it oddly fascinating myself.
1:16.6	And so we get into that a little bit in this podcast.
1:20.3	Dan brings a wealth of knowledge in the area of risk management.
1:25.3	He has been supporting ABA practitioners for several years now, and he's one of the few
1:31.1	insurance providers out there who actually understands what we do.
1:36.5	Some of the feedback I got in the ABA business building group were from people who were
1:40.5	frustrated because when they went to buy workers' comp and things like that,
1:49.0	their brokers had no idea how to classify an ABA-based business.
1:54.7	So, again, I think you'll find this interesting, even if you're not in the position in your organization to be purchasing these things, we talk about risk management in general and some of the crazy
1:59.9	things that he's seen happen
2:01.2	out there. And I think it'll just give you some additional awareness if you're in a home or
