Hybrid Product Litigation
Sales of hybrid/combination products continue to increase at a steady pace. Often marketed as "less risky" than standalone LTCi since there is an alternative death benefit if the rider isn't triggered. As more products are sold, more claims are being submitted. As claims increase, so does litigation. Learn the particulars of litigation matters and some of the "things to watch" regarding the marketing and sales of combination products in the future.
