Columbus, Ohio, August 21, 2024: On September 18, 2024, at the annual meeting of the Ohio Association of Professional Specialty Lines Offices (OAPSLO), Joseph Petrelli, President, Demotech, Inc., Todd Kozikowski, President and Co-founder, 4WARN, Inc., and J.J. Dimond, Director, Data Analytics and Engineering, 4WARN, Inc. are scheduled to speak on "Tech-enabled Claim Instigation and Its Impact on the Availability and Affordability of Insurance." You can register on line at https://lnkd.in/g5jMb_-p or contact Shawna Belcher at [email protected].
According to Joe Petrelli, in March 2022, research pioneered by Demotech, Inc., undertaken by Todd Kozikowski, discovered a nationwide business model labeled "tech-enabled claim instigation." This is the leveraging of search engine optimization, litigation platforms, litigation marketing and litigation financing to secure contested claims against insurers. Representatives of Demotech and 4WARN will describe the research that led to the discovery of the business model, outline how the financial impact of the business model has crushed the availability and affordability of insurance in virtually all jurisdictions, and present evidence to demonstrate that neither Ohio's admitted market carriers or surplus lines markets are immune from tech-enabled claim instigation.
This topic has been of interest to many entities in the insurance community. Register today to hear first-hand from Joe Petrelli, Todd Kozikowski, and J.J. Dimond about helpful, new and relevant advice on this topic.
