Liability in the digital age: Social media, gaming, gambling and chatbot challenge

Severe convective storms (SCS), including hail, straight-line winds and tornadoes, have averaged more than $35bn in insured losses annually in the US over the last decade (Swiss Re Institute, 2024), often outpacing hurricanes as the leading driver of catastrophe losses. In recent years, they have been the single largest source of insured catastrophe costs for carriers and reinsurers.  In fact, average industry insured losses have doubled in the last five years compared to the prior five-year period.

As urban development expands, inflation drives up replacement costs and changing weather patterns and climate trends influence storm behavior, losses are expected to remain elevated. Insurance leaders now face an urgent question: How can better models translate into stronger pricing strategies, portfolio resilience and new market opportunities?

Join Insurance Insider for a free webinar, offered in partnership with Moody’s, at 10:30 EST/15:30 GMT on 22 January, as we explore how re/insurers are harnessing models to better manage SCS risk.

Discussion topics:
-- Drivers of increasing SCS losses and how climate and exposure growth are shaping risk
-- Implications for pricing, reinsurance and portfolio management
-- The unique challenges of modeling highly localised, short-duration events
-- New market opportunities enabled by advanced probabilistic models representing present day climate conditions, including solutions such as:
-- Primary products better aligned to risk dynamics
-- Reinsurance solutions that enable better risk transfer alignment
-- Parametric Insurance options

Speakers include:
Julie Serakos, Managing Director, Head of Model Product Management, Moody’s Insurance Solutions

Smarter models powering insurance innovation against growing SCS threat

Specialty commercial insurers face some of the most complex claims in the industry, and claims adjusters are increasingly taxed with navigating high-severity losses against a backdrop of rising inflation and emerging risks. The smartest companies are turning to AI to support those adjusters, streamlining the claims process to improve outcomes for both insureds and the insurer.

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Docosoft, for a live 60-minute webinar at 10:30 ET/15:30 BT on 21 January 2026, to dive deep into the revolutionary role of artificial intelligence across specialty and complex insurance such as marine, aviation, energy, cyber and political risk claims. Unpack how cutting-edge AI can transform claims workflows, from case assignment to settlement, driving efficiency and accuracy, elevating professional expertise and creating real-time feedback for underwriters.

Discussion questions:
State of the industry: How are specialty commercial insurers managing claims today? How many are actively using AI?
How do you balance human expertise with automation?
What strategic challenges must leaders overcome to achieve organisation-wide adoption of AI?
In what ways does AI-enabled feedback reshape risk selection and underwriting in specialty lines?
How do AI-driven claims platforms enable future operational agility and competitive advantage for complex insurance organisations?
Which KPIs and efficiency gains should chief claims officers prioritise to realise value quickly from AI investments?
What are the potential pitfalls in adopting AI strategies in claims?

AI and Complex Claims – Clearing a Path to Clarity

Many large and established insurers with complex corporate structures have dozens of operating entities, some of which may have been laying fallow for years. Even if not active, these structures can present a regulatory and capital burden on the operating entity.

Insurers can view these shell companies as an asset, instead of a liability, and sell them. New entities looking for a gateway to launch new businesses are often hungry to acquire a shell company and the licences that came with it.

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with M&A Services, for a free webinar at 10:30 EDT/15:30 GMT on 9 December as we explore how to tap into the hidden value of shell companies.

Discussion questions include:

-- Overview:  How carriers end up with shell companies
-- How to determine the value of a shell company
-- How to address regulatory concerns
-- What potential sellers should consider
-- What potential buyers should consider

Sleeping assets awaken: Monetising dormant insurance shells

With natural catastrophe losses reaching $100bn annually, carriers, brokers, and reinsurers can no longer afford to rely on broad assumptions about property risk based on legacy data or even a property’s zip code. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Moody’s, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET/15:30 GMT, Dec. 2, as we explore how property insurers, brokers, and reinsurers are leveraging more granular insights to pinpoint risk at the individual property level. Experts will reveal how new technologies are changing how property is being evaluated, priced, and positioned across multiple perils, including hurricane, severe convective storm, and wildfire. Learn about the cutting edge of underwriting risk assessment from a broad panel of industry leaders.

Discussion questions:
· What granular data is available today?
· How has high-resolution imagery changed your approach to assessing property condition and risk exposure, particularly for high-cat regions?
· What are some examples of how granular property data has helped identify overlooked risks, or uncovered hidden opportunities, in either your or cedants’ portfolios?
· How close are we to 'living risk assessment’ -- a continuously monitored, real-time risk profile for every property? What needs to happen to get there?
· How can reinsurers, brokers, and primary carriers better collaborate using more granular property data for more accurate risk transfer and exposure management?
· What new technologies are you prioritizing for the next 12–24 months that might help reduce both underwriting time and loss ratios?

Panel:

The insurance CFO revolution: How to leverage tech to make smarter, faster decisions

Mass litigation has surged across the United States in recent years, with high-profile cases involving talc, Roundup, PFAS and addictive software emerging at an unprecedented rate. Between 2016 and 2022, two to three new mass litigation events began each year. Looking ahead, climate-related lawsuits are likely to accelerate, and entirely new litigation categories – such as those targeting ultra-processed foods and microplastics – could soon appear. This evolving landscape means insurers are increasingly exposed to large-scale, correlated legal actions, heightening the risk of legacy claims and more frequent reserve adjustments.

The casualty insurance sector now faces a risk environment reminiscent of the catastrophe risks that transformed property insurance, leading to the development of catastrophe reinsurance markets and ILS. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Moody’s, for a free webinar at 10:30 EDT/15:30 BST on 30 September as we explore how innovative reinsurance solutions are being designed to help insurers manage the volatility of this new casualty risk era.

Discussion topics include:
-Overview of the current casualty market and the rise of mass litigation.
-How insurers can better identify and quantify the risk of large-scale, correlated litigation events within their existing portfolios.
-How the emergence of new litigation areas – such as climate change, ultraprocessed foods and microplastics – might change the risk landscape for casualty insurers.
-How tools including run-off and clash covers could help mitigate losses.

Beyond property: The coming casualty catastrophe market

In recent years, the insurance industry’s perception of risk from severe thunderstorms, also known as severe convective storms, has shifted significantly. No longer is this considered a “secondary peril”, as these storms are driving annual insured losses rivaling or even exceeding that of traditional primary perils, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.
 
In 2023 and 2024, the US recorded two of its costliest years for thunderstorm losses, both exceeding $50bn, according to Verisk. This is prompting a shift in how insurers and reinsurers model, understand and manage their exposure.
 
Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Verisk, for a free webinar at 10:30 EDT/15:30 BST on 29 September, as we explore the latest tools and strategies to manage severe thunderstorms.
 
Discussion questions include:
What is driving the growth in insured losses from severe thunderstorms?
How are re/insurers managing severe thunderstorm risk across their complex portfolios? How are they managing challenges including identifying underpriced policies or overexposed areas? How are they finding profitable areas to grow?
What is the latest technology available to help companies examine risk on a property-by-property basis?
How are re/insurers managing capacity and pricing for niche properties, such as solar farms, marine or industrial assets, which may face a unique vulnerability to hail, straight-line wind and tornadoes?
How are re/insurers focusing on hail risk specifically to manage extreme loss risks, especially in areas like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Illinois, where recent losses have presented significant challenges to insurers’ profitability?

Speakers:
Vikram Vyas, Head of Model Product Management, Verisk Extreme Event Solutions
Tim Zawacki, Senior Research Analyst, S&P Global Market Intelligence
Andrew Siffert, Senior Vice President / Senior Meteorologist, BMS Re

Navigating the new frontier of severe thunderstorm risk

Too often, insurers walk away from lines or classes of business that no longer fit their growth strategies. This business may lack scale, have burdensome reinsurance or capital requirements, or no longer aligns with the carriers’ goals.

If that business is profitable, carriers are leaving money on the table when they non-renew the business or give the renewal rights to another company for a small percentage of the GPW.
Instead, non-renewed or non-core business can be viewed as an asset – a valuable asset that can be restructured and sold on the strength of its earnings stream. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with M&A Services, for a free webinar 10:30 EDT/15:30 BST on Sept. 24, as we explore new ways to create value from non-core business.

Discussion questions include:
--Overview: Traditional renewal rights agreements vs. asset sale
--How to restructure the business being sold to protect the buyer from legacy claims
--How to address regulatory concerns
--For sellers: what is the benefit of this approach
--For buyers: what opportunities lay ahead

From Automation to Empathy: The Future of Claims Handling

The 2025 Los Angeles wildfires—most notably the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires—have shattered historic records, destroying over 16,000 structures across 37,000 acres and resulting in insured losses estimated between $25bn and $40bn, with total economic losses potentially exceeding $150bn. The Palisades Fire by itself brought an estimated insured loss of $23bn, which is costlier than any other full year of insured wildfires losses on record, Gallagher Re said.

While these fires destroyed thousands of homes, commercial insurers, including those underwriting public entity risks, like schools and public buildings, were also impacted.
For commercial property insurers, these events have not only triggered a surge in claims but also exposed critical vulnerabilities in risk aggregation, underwriting, and claims management.

How Insurers Are Harnessing Gen AI to Improve Risk Selection

As the frequency and severity of natural catastrophe losses continues to rise, insurers are turning their focus beyond underwriting perils to mitigating losses before they happen.

Insured natural catastrophe losses were USD 108 billion in 2023, the fourth year in a row of insured losses north of USD 100 billion and a continuation of the 5–7% annual growth trend since 1994, Swiss Re said. Swiss Re Institute estimates that insured losses could double within the next 10 years as temperatures rise and extreme weather events become more frequent and intense.

To stem the rising tide of claims, insurers are working with clients before catastrophes strike to improve their resilience, using tools including: smart technology, such as telematics and IoT Integration to detect, respond and link properties to emergency services in real time; offering concrete advice to insureds to reduce their risks; employing their own emergency response crews to solidify potential targets before an event strikes.
