Demotech Announces Conference on Litigation Trends Impacting Insurers
Demotech, Inc., an independent financial analysis firm for the insurance industry, has announced its inaugural Business Insurance Claims Legal Series Conference to be held in New York City on November 11, 2026. The conference will focus on emerging litigation trends affecting insurers and consumers due to tech-enabled litigation instigation, plaintiff bar activities, and third-party financing models that have reshaped claim settlement processes since around 2015. According to Demotech President Joseph Petrelli, research conducted in 2022 revealed how these practices are increasing costs for insurance companies and ultimately consumers. Steve Acunto of Business Insurance praised the initiative as a critical resource for legal professionals navigating new technologies like artificial intelligence within claims processes. The event will include two sessions with a luncheon at the Union Club of New York, though registration details have not yet been finalized.
