Stephen Brown (Partner-Stamford, CT) and Irena Maier (Associate-Stamford, CT) co-authored “Insurers Should Prepare For ‘Black Swan’ Climate Disasters,” published in the October 31, 2023, posting of Law360’s Expert Analysis. The article addresses the critical need for property and casualty insurers to adapt to surprise climate change events, or “black swans,” often causing catastrophic damage, staggering property losses, and threatening the industry’s existence. Steve and Irena discuss five innovative steps to help insurers educate themselves and explore new options to combat climate risk better. While black swan climate events have had devastating effects in states like Florida and California, making procuring property insurance in those states nearly impossible, the authors are optimistic that “…if the property and casualty industry is willing to evolve, ingenious tools and resources can propel it toward the future with confidence.”
