Nuclear Verdicts®, Social Inflation, and Why They Matter to the Insurance World
Everyone sees the billboards. Law firms are marketing the large settlements and verdicts that they have secured. How are they getting those awards?

When the court hands down a decision awarding $10 million or more, that's considered a nuclear verdict, according to some definitions. These Nuclear Verdicts® and the social inflation that they contribute to are the subjects of this session. Join us as Laura Gregory and Tim Fletcher help us to understand these concepts and help us to understand why we should care.
