A Message From the Editor
I happen to be friendly with a successful personal-injury attorney who has long been admired as the wealthiest individual in our social circle. As I continue to read insurance-industry articles related to legal-system abuse, however, it’s hard not to view my friend’s field in a different light. But one question persists for me around this issue: Do all insurance lawsuits fall under the umbrella of “legal-system abuse"? Check out today's post from the APCIA and then decide for yourself. Elsewhere in today’s Risk Report: Swiss Re tracks recent underwriting losses, The Watch Register calls for a centralized database to recover stolen timepieces, and we look at today’s tragic breaking news out of Baltimore after a shipping barge crashed into that city's Francis Scott Key Bridge.
