The True Cost of Third-Party Claims: Understanding the Impact of Litigation Rates

Glennon & Associates Ltd Commitment to Minimising Litigation Costs

At Glennon & Associates Ltd, we have long recognised the critical importance of managing litigation rates. Since our inception, we have prioritised keeping our Litigation Rate low as a core part of our claims management strategy. We are proud to report that while the industry’s litigation rates can soar as high as 89%, Glennon & Associates Ltd Litigation Rate has consistently remained close to 10%. This means that we settle 90% of our cases before they reach litigation, significantly reducing costs for our clients.

Our ability to maintain such a low Litigation Rate is not by chance. It is the result of our proactive approach to claims management, and our unwavering focus on early resolution. We understand that early settlement is often in the best interest of all parties involved. By resolving disputes quickly and fairly, we not only control costs but thereby maintain strong relationships with our clients and policyholders.

The Role of Innovation in Claims Management

The insurance industry has seen a surge in innovative solutions aimed at improving efficiency and reducing costs. At Glennon & Associates Ltd , we have embraced these advancements, integrating AI, data analytics, and digital tools into our claims management processes. That said, while we can administer our cases with such tools, real engagement, communication, consultation, meeting, discussion and negotiation remains unique and cannot be replaced.

Why Litigation Rate Should Matter to Policyholders

For policyholders, the Litigation Rate of their insurer is more than just a number—it is a reflection of how well their claims will be managed. A low Litigation Rate indicates an insurer’s ability to handle claims efficiently, minimise costs, and avoid unnecessary disputes. This translates into lower premiums, faster claim resolution, and a more transparent claims process.

When choosing an insurer, policyholders should consider the Litigation Rate as a key factor. At Glennon & Associates Ltd, we are committed to maintaining our low Litigation Rate as part of our broader strategy to deliver exceptional value to our clients. We believe that by focusing on early resolution and leveraging innovative tools, we can continue to provide a high level of service and cost efficiency that our clients have come to expect.

Summary

In conclusion, while the insurance industry continues to innovate and evolve, it is crucial not to overlook the real and substantial costs associated with third-party claims litigation. The Litigation Rate has emerged as a meaningful metric that can significantly impact an insurer’s financial health and the overall experience of its policyholders.

At G&A, we are proud to lead the industry with one of the lowest Litigation Rates, ensuring that our clients benefit from efficient, cost-effective claims management. As we continue to prioritise this metric, we remain committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients and setting a benchmark for the industry.
