Navigate Disruption, Optimize Impact, Stay Ahead.
2025 is reshaping the claims landscape faster than many carriers can adapt. Insurers are under pressure to digitize policy administration, manage risk more precisely, and deliver faster claims resolution.
This translates to operational, strategic, financial, and reputational challenges that are keeping insurance claims leaders awake at night.
-
Loss Cost Pressure: Economic & Social Inflation
Claim severities remain stubbornly high despite moderating headline inflation. Social inflation—driven by larger jury awards, expanding tort theories, and litigation finance—continues to push liability costs above economic trends, straining reserves and forcing coverage retrenchment in casualty lines.
-
Catastrophe Volatility & Secondary Perils
The frequency and severity of weather events keep rising, depressing underwriting results and swelling claim volumes—especially in property lines. Leaders must manage complex surge staffing, vendor orchestration, and reinsurance negotiations with agility.
-
Auto & Repair Cost Shocks
Advanced driver assistance systems, EV part scarcity, and potential tariffs are driving repair complexity. Combined with supply-chain delays, these factors keep auto loss costs high and inflate rental/ALE leakage.
-
Fraud Escalation—Now AI-Powered
Deepfakes, synthetic identities, and AI-generated documents or audio are creating new fraud vectors. This increases SIU workload, raises false-positive risks, and demands advanced identity proofing, multimedia forensics, and real-time fraud analytics at FNOL.
-
Cyber & Data-Driven Liability Exposure
Cyber incidents and privacy/biometric lawsuits are introducing complex, high-severity claims. Adjusting these requires specialized expertise, updated playbooks, and coordinated panels.
-
Regulatory Flux & Governance Burdens
Scaling AI in claims—triage, summarization, subrogation, indemnity guidance—is bottlenecked by data quality, model risk, workforce upskilling, and legacy system integration. ROI proof and bias prevention are non-negotiable.
-
Talent Constraints & New Skills Mix
Adjuster shortages and rising technical complexity demand redesigned roles, blended human–machine workflows, and career paths that retain high-judgment talent.
-
Reserving Adequacy & Earnings Volatility
Bigger verdicts and legal costs are pressuring reserves. Misses flow directly into combined ratios and invite rating agency scrutiny, leaving little room for error in leakage.
-
Customer Expectations: Speed, Transparency, Empathy
Disaster-driven surges plus complex claims challenge carriers to deliver fast, digital, omnichannel experiences with clear status updates and fair settlements—while protecting brand trust.
-
Line-Specific Headwinds
Commercial Liability – Availability tightening, exclusions rising, and legal system abuse risk making coverage unavailable in some niches.
Health/MA – High utilization and payment changes compress margins, heightening scrutiny of claims accuracy, coding, and medical cost management.
