The Nuclear Underwriter: Using Claims Intelligence to Immunize the Policy from Day Zero

The divide between the “front end,” underwriting, and the “tail,” claims, is where the most expensive losses reside. In this high-octane session, Chase Gruszka bridges that gap by revealing how forensic claims data and recent “nuclear verdict” trends should fundamentally reshape underwriting appetites in coming years. We won’t just talk about the law. We’ll analyze real-world tender disputes to show exactly how a single oversight in the underwriting phase creates an un-winnable litigation nightmare years later. The session will include the “underwriting war room” where the speaker will present three “live risk” scenarios. Attendees will use a live polling app to vote on whether they would bind the risk. The speaker will then reveal the actual litigation outcome for each, detailing the exact legal trap that was missed at the bind.
