BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

OFF BEAT: Seahawks' big win a big loss for insurer

Reprints

Some prize indemnity insurance premiums have paid off handsomely for an auto dealership in the Pacific Northwest.

Federal Way, Wash.-based dealership Jet Chevrolet recently ran a promotion promising 12 fans of the Seattle Seahawks $35,000 each if the Seahawks held the visiting New York Giants scoreless during their Dec. 15 game.

According to ESPN, the Seahawk’s 23-0 victory on Sunday means the dealer’s insurance policy will pay out $420,000 to the contestants, making the $7,000 in premium that Jet Chevrolet paid the unnamed insurer quite a bargain.

Somewhere a wounded underwriter curses Giants quarterback Eli Manning, whose five interceptions helped pave the way for the shutout.
