Legal System Abuse: Rising Costs for Insurance

On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, host Nathan Riedel, Big “I” senior vice president of federal government affairs, is joined by Jeff Beck, senior vice president of government and regulatory affairs at Selective Insurance, and John Barbour, CEO of the Independent Insurance Agents of Georgia. Together, they dive into legal system abuse and its impact on insurers and policyholders. They also unpack the key reforms passed in Georgia earlier this year, how they came about and the insights they offer for other states and the federal government moving forward. “Commercial lines, personal lines, every line is being impacted by the legal system abuse,” Beck says. Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today.
