Subject: U.S. Tort Costs Reach a Record $260 Billion
Does the figure represent all tort court judgments and the cost of all premiums for all lines of related insurance? If so, were sums deducted for premium payments where no claims were paid?
Does the figure include settled case ammounts? Most settlement sums are unknown and have confidentiality clauses usually at the insistence of the insurer.To what extent were these figures included in thie $260 Billion" cost? And how would one verify the accuracy of such statements that are based on non-disclosable private information?
It is unclear whether the article's claim of $260 Billion in tort costs" is accurate.
