eDiscovery Pointers for Insurance Claims Professionals

Most corporations have insurance to help manage litigation costs which means that claims professionals within a given carrier are an integral part of case budgeting.

The money allocated for discovery is more significant than ever before since modern litigation involves large amounts of data that needs to be retrieved, reviewed, and disclosed.

This will only increase and become more complicated as new technologies emerge and people continue to find new ways to communicate or create digital business content.

As such, it is important for claims professionals to be mindful of certain factors, processes, and needs related to the eDiscovery process.

While insurance professionals surely are not expected to understand the technicalities or be experts in this area, having some baseline knowledge and education about eDiscovery will empower claims professionals during budget review and communications with outside counsel.
