Nuclear verdicts are no longer rare events. They are a growing reality that organizations must be prepared to address long before a case reaches trial.
In this webinar, EPIC’s panel will focus on the practical actions organizations can take to reduce exposure and influence outcomes. The discussion will explore how litigation strategy, and early decision-making shape the trajectory of high-severity claims, often determining whether a case escalates or resolves.
Panelists will share perspectives on the role of early investigations, early resolution, and disciplined litigation management, as well as how companies can more effectively communicate their claims strategy and settlement philosophy to carriers. The session will also introduce how approaches like tort reform impact modeling can help organizations better understand and contextualize their risk.
