Litigation support

Key success factors in insurance litigation are expertise in insurance concepts, coverages, and operations. Attorneys can greatly enhance their understanding and credibility through the use of a credentialed actuarial "expert" who possesses this knowledge. An actuary's ability to isolate and explain important insurance issues, craft compelling arguments, and cite actuarial standards of practice and common industry practices often establishes the framework to win cases.

PwC's Actuarial & Insurance Management Solutions (AIMS) US practice includes more than 30 credentialed property & casualty actuaries possessing a suite of tools to assist in litigation support including:

  • Insurance industry benchmarking
  • Best practices checklists for various insurance functions
  • A resource database to identify specific actuarial expertise within the Firm on litigated issues
  • Knowledge and discussion databases to leverage their collective experiences
Many of these actuaries have already worked with outside attorneys and PwC's Forensic services group to provide valuable financial, economic and business consulting to lawyers and other parties involved in litigation, arbitration or mediations and other alternative dispute resolution forums. AIMS actuaries possess high credibility in insurance matters through their high quality work and extensive contacts in the insurance industry.
