A complete course of study providing education and training to allow the student, to learn how to deal with the fraudulent claims and why an insurer should never settle a claim that it believes is false and fraudulent. The student will review and understand the concept of never settling a claim that is fraudulent or not covered.

  5. Why it is needed to fulfill the duty to defend.
