The insurance conversation that once focused on “nuclear verdicts,” or verdicts and settlements that surpass $10 million and tend to be disproportionate to the litigated issue, has now evolved into one about “thermonuclear verdicts,” or lawsuit outcomes that surpass $100 million.
“These verdicts are not only rising in number, but in size and scope,” Marathon Strategies notes in its recent report, “Corporate Verdicts Go Thermonuclear — 2025 Edition.”
The slideshow above illustrates the top states for thermonuclear verdicts in 2024, the last full year of available data, according to Marathon Strategies.
