Social inflation has moved past isolated cases or a short-term trend. It’s now a constant force influencing claim outcomes, pricing decisions and capacity. The Verdict Is In: How Social Inflation Is Reshaping Insurance Risk will examine how broader cultural shifts, changing juror expectations and modern trial tactics are contributing to larger verdicts (and settlements) and the effects on both insurers and policyholders.
This webinar will look at nuclear verdicts, the growing role of punitive damages and the growing presence of third-party litigation funding. We’ll discuss how these developments affect loss severity, underwriting assumptions, risk transfer strategies and more.
The Verdict Is In: How Social Inflation Is Reshaping Insurance Risk is designed for professionals working across underwriting, claims and risk management. This webinar offers counsel and carrier perspective on how social inflation is changing the risk landscape and what those changes mean for primary insurers and reinsurers alike.
