Jury’s Out: Navigating Nuclear Verdicts & Social Inflation

Multi-million-dollar verdicts are making headlines nationwide. This session will explore the underlying factors contributing to these outcomes. We will start with an overview of the key drivers of social inflation and engage the audience in a “guess the verdict” scenario based on real professional lines claims that went to trial. We will also present videos of mock trial deliberations to illustrate the anti-corporate bias. The session will then focus on practical strategies for mitigating risk. Finally, we will highlight the importance of advocacy in our industry, discussing how we can collectively educate the public and legislators to drive meaningful reforms.
