Ellen Greiper (Partner-New York, NY) will moderate the panel “Handling Catastrophic Casualty Claims” at Zywave’s Casualty Insights Conference in New York City on March 5, 2026. The panel examines how, amid rising claim costs, the insurance industry can take targeted action by tracking litigation and loss trends – and where leaders see meaningful opportunities to influence 2026 outcomes. Topics discussed include how defense counsel are leveraging emerging technologies, including AI, to identify and challenge fraudulent claims, and how tighter underwriting and lower limits have led to more carriers participating on a tower, affecting claims handling, defense coordination, and settlement strategy. Featuring a risk manager, a claims director, and a broker, the panel offers practical insights into how large losses develop and how proactive collaboration, early strategy, and disciplined execution can help prevent claims from going nuclear.
