Must Read for all Insurance professionals

Well documented, clearly written, loved the step by step process to analyze a policy when there is a coverage dispute. This will be part of my permanent reference library and has inspired to look at several mentioned sites to enhance my knowledge. I say all this as a 40 year veteran of the industry and someone who values continuing education.

Excellent job

Bill is the US's top expert on insurance policy language and he puts his 50+ years of experience into a simply amazing book, and on top of that, it's a truly funny read too. Illustrated with real stories from his long insurance career it is relatable and incredibly well written.

Disclaimer: I'm biased as I'm a partner in the company that published this book for Bill, Insurance Nerds.
