How Insurers Are Combating Legal System Abuse
Telling the defendant's story in a way that humanizes the corporation presents the case as a singular event to be judged on its own facts, rather than as part of a larger systemic issue.
Public perception is shaped by various factors, such as seeing high earnings in professional sports, corporate executive compensation, and large corporate financial events.
Witness preparation is key, with a focus on the specific facts of the case rather than generalities that could play into the Reptilian strategy.
Litigation funding can provide plaintiffs with resources that exceed the actual value of the claim, which could encourage them to pursue higher settlement numbers that may not be realistic or reasonable.
Insurers need to handle claims strategically, without being deterred by the possibility of a nuclear verdict, which can lead to inflated settlement values and hesitation to proceed to trial.
