New Addition to Verisk Dashboard Visualizes Insurance-Specific Court Decisions To Help Support Product Development, Underwriting and Claims
JERSEY CITY, NJ , Oct. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Court decisions can profoundly impact insurance companies, affecting everything from the types of exposures carriers are willing to insure to reserve allocation and claim management strategies. The verdicts associated with these court decisions can vary significantly by jurisdiction, insurance topic, and amount, be challenging to access, and time-consuming and costly to research.
To help insurers address these challenges, Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics provider, has enhanced its insurance-specific legal dashboard, CourtSide™, with a Verdict Database. Verisk’s new Verdict Database provides aggregate verdict information by jurisdiction and insurance topic to support insurers’ daily decision making and strategic planning.
“The addition of the Verdict Database into CourtSide will provide carriers the ability to build a quantitative analysis of how courts are evaluating coverage issues and can help them consider the potential effects of social inflation on related court decisions,” said Deborah Morris, senior vice president of ISO Commercial Lines at Verisk. “With better line of sight into historic verdict scenarios, carriers are better equipped to consider potential exposures and address reserve allocations and settlements, while providing underwriting, claims and product teams the ability to incorporate court decision data into their daily decision making.”
