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.
Studies and statistics indicate that certain age groups, specifically 18-29 and 50-59, are more inclined to award larger sums in verdicts.
Witness preparation is key, with a focus on the specific facts of the case rather than generalities that could play into the Reptilian strategy.
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.
