risk retention examples

[jp_2031]

Hey, got a test on monday for retention and transfer of risk, and I thought it would be a good idea rather than just to get the theory but to find real life examples, for example a company that has a captive is BP whom own Jupitar Insurance LTD.

After a few searches there are some examples I cant get my hands on, does anyone know where i can find such examples as companies which have faced unplanned retention due to ignorence(BP oil spill???), unplanned retention due to confusion of contractual terms, examples of transferring risks to a non-insurer, and perhaps an example of when a company has financed its loss with non-replacement?
Much appreciated
John

Hope the test goes well.
I thought I knew a bit about this topic but I'm afraid I didn't understand your question so couldn't help this time
