The insurance industry is entering a new era of catastrophic litigation exposure. Nuclear Verdicts®—jury awards exceeding $10 million—are no longer anomalies. With a 37% year-over-year increase in frequency, escalating jury sympathy, and the rise of third-party litigation funding, claim costs are ballooning to unsustainable levels. In 2023 alone, carriers paid nearly $143 billion in liability claims—and 2025 could be even worse.
Too many insurers are repeating history. Much like the early days of cyber risk denial, industry leaders acknowledge the threat but fail to act—assuming they’re too small to be a target or that reinsurance will cover the fallout.
Key Points from the Brief:
- Widespread complacency: Many still view Nuclear Verdicts® as rare and random—until it happens to them.
- Strategic misalignment: Internal teams lack coordination across claims, legal, actuarial, and risk.
- False confidence: Past performance and reinsurance aren’t enough in today’s volatile litigation environment.
