CHICAGO, May 12, 2026—Duane Morris is pleased to announce the publication of its new industry-focused eBook, the Insurance Class Action Review – 2026. Focusing on the growing wave of class action litigation confronting the insurance industry, the Insurance Class Action Review – 2026 is a comprehensive examination of the legal, regulatory and strategic developments reshaping collective litigation in the insurance sector.
Class action litigation has become one of the defining forces affecting insurers today, influencing everything from claims handling and underwriting practices to cybersecurity exposure, artificial intelligence deployment and climate-related coverage disputes. The Insurance Class Action Review – 2026 offers an in-depth analysis of these emerging trends and the evolving defense strategies insurers must consider in an increasingly complex litigation environment.
Designed for legal professionals, executives and compliance leaders, the Insurance Class Action Review – 2026 serves as both a strategic road map and a day-to-day reference guide. Written by Duane Morris partners Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. and Jennifer A. Riley, with contributions from members of the Class Action Litigation and the Insurance and Reinsurance Industry Group, the new eBook provides a broad array of analysis and information from their extensive experience in defending class action litigation in this industry.
“The class action mechanism is unparalleled among procedural rules in terms of its impact on the American legal system,” Maatman explains. “Its capacity to exponentially expand potential damages has transformed class litigation into one of the most powerful and consequential risks facing corporate defendants.”
The publication explores how insurers operate within uniquely complicated legal and regulatory frameworks that often vary significantly across jurisdictions, creating fertile ground for nationwide and multistate class litigation. It also examines the increasingly sophisticated approaches used by both plaintiffs’ counsel and corporate defendants in addressing arbitration provisions, class action waivers, data governance and claims administration. The publication further analyzes how digital transformation, catastrophic weather events, inflationary pressures and evolving healthcare and labor markets are intensifying scrutiny of insurer practices and expanding litigation exposure across the industry.
Developed as a practical resource for insurers, corporate counsel, litigators and risk management professionals, the Insurance Class Action Review – 2026 is designed to help organizations better understand and prepare for the increasingly high-stakes world of insurance class action litigation.
