Emerging Technologies in Utility Claims
Advancing Investigation and Risk Management
Emerging technologies are transforming how utilities investigate incidents, manage claims, and support litigation. Join this roundtable to explore how tools such as field data collection, aerial surveillance, and remote monitoring are improving public safety, strengthening investigations, and driving better claims outcomes.
The rapid advancement of technology over the past decade has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life – including how claims are investigated, evaluated, and resolved. Utilities are increasingly adopting these innovations to enhance operations across customer service, field response, and, critically, claims handling and litigation support.
This roundtable will examine how utilities are leveraging emerging technologies in their daily operations, with particular focus on their role in claims management. Emphasizing public safety, we will explore tools and techniques that improve incident response, enhance root cause analysis, and strengthen the investigation of service-related events. From ground-level field data collection to aerial surveillance and remote monitoring, these technologies are reshaping how claims professionals gather evidence, assess exposure, and defend or resolve claims. As these capabilities continue to evolve, they will play an increasingly central role in effective risk management and claims outcomes.

Defending the Catastrophic Incident Case
Explore Strategies for Defense from Investigation to Resolution
Catastrophic events such as electrical contacts, gas explosions, wildfires and natural disasters can create significant claims exposure and public scrutiny. Join this roundtable to explore practical strategies for investigating incidents, managing liability, preserving evidence and effectively defending against catastrophic injury and property damage claims.
This roundtable will explore practical strategies for defending utilities against catastrophic injury and property damage claims arising from events such as electrical contacts, gas explosions, wildfires, and natural disasters. These incidents often involve severe injuries — such as burns, paraplegia and amputations — as well as extensive property damage. Such high-profile events often result in public scrutiny and heightened regulatory oversight, creating a highly challenging environment that can significantly increase exposure.
Panelists will discuss effective approaches to early incident investigation, evidence preservation, liability and causation development, damages mitigation, expert coordination and resolution strategy. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of how to better control exposure, minimize negative outcomes and ultimately defend against catastrophic claims more effectively.

Navigating Modern Employment Practices Liability Claims
Understanding Employer Exposure in Today's EPL Cases
Recent statistics indicate that the number of charges filed on an annual basis with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is immense, as over 80,000 such charges were brought each year from 2023 to 2025. Coupled with state, local and private-party claims and litigation, employers face potentially enormous exposure from these matters.
This roundtable will discuss some of the newer types of employment practices liability (EPL) claims, including the intersection of employment law and artificial intelligence (AI), the impact of evolving diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and retaliation claims. Our panelists will discuss strategies to help defend such claims, as well as give an overview of recent EPL case law.
