Casualty Risk Consulting
Companies face many kinds of risk. Challenges from new technologies, global supply chains, more onerous standards and regulations, challenging legal jurisdictions and precedents can all affect your company’s profitability. Especially when coupled with an increasing frequency or severity of liability claims. Major claims and the attendant media exposure can result in significant damage to reputation and brand. Liability claims trends in many industrial sectors are indicating increasing severity. Individual claims (and recall costs) associated with defective products, pollution spills or fires / explosions have exceeded $1bn in a number of cases. The recent verdicts and huge damages awarded in recent cases (often contrary to scientific consensus) have further highlighted the importance of robust risk management and claims defensibility.
