Often, municipalities are named in lawsuits in an effort to harness the "deep-pocket effect" of municipal insurance. This is seeen most often in road maintenance liability. 

Tracy Eso will interview the inimitable Charles Painter of  Dolden Wallace Folick LLP, who wrote the book on the Minimum Maintenance Standards couched with years of practical experience as municipal defence counsel.  

Topics to be discussed: 
-  How the new proposed changes to the MMS will affect municipalities.
- How documentation supporting road maintenance and activities can help or sink a municipality's case against liability. 
- Creating rock-solid defences for municipalities in road liability situations. 

Field trips create excellent opportunities to build strong relationships in the classroom and magical memories for children that last a lifetime. However, they also present significant liability exposures for schools, including event planning, transportation, safety, supervision, and permissions – not to mention the activities themselves.

Join us as IPE's Tracy Eso explores the often-overlooked risks of field trips and how to manage them effectively. Through real claim studies, we’ll highlight how strong risk management can make a difference, helping schools continue to offer unique and exciting excursion opportunities. Bring your questions, concerns, and insights for an engaging discussion.
