Demotech to host New York summit on rising litigation costs
Litigation financing and tech-driven plaintiff strategies are forcing a reckoning for the insurance industry, prompting Demotech, Inc. to launch an inaugural conference in New York this November. The event aims to dissect how these emerging models impact settlement timelines and drive up costs for both insurers and their consumers.
Steve Acunto, publisher of Business Insurance, described the gathering as a necessary forum for claims professionals, actuaries, and legal counsel to navigate a sector increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence and aggressive litigation tactics. The sessions will provide a critical look at how these mechanisms reshape claims processes across various lines of business, offering a platform for industry leaders to weigh strategies against these evolving financial risks.
