About
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the alarming rise of nuclear verdicts®—plaintiff damage awards exceeding $10 million—and the more recent emergence of thermonuclear verdicts. Expanding on the 2024 In2Risk presentation, this critical webinar examines how emerging risks, contract mismanagement, and claim inaction can lead to these unexpectedly inflated awards, significantly impacting insurers' loss ratios, insureds' premiums, and ultimately raising costs for consumers. Our expert presenters will analyze the factors driving this trend, including aggressive trial advertising, unregulated third-party litigation funding, growing public mistrust of corporations, and broader social inflation. Attendees will also be equipped to identify early warning signals in cases heading toward potential nuclear verdicts and will develop actionable strategies for mitigation and effective defense at trial.

• Identify specific risk factors in your organization that could increase vulnerability to nuclear verdicts
• Recognize early warning signals that indicate a case may be heading toward a nuclear verdict outcome
