On Aon — Episode 97 Risk and Resilience in the Age of Autonomous VehiclesAutonomous vehicles and self-driving technology are no longer futuristic — they're transforming how we move today. As adoption accelerates worldwide, insurers face a new set of risks and opportunities. Jillian Slyfield, Aon's global chief innovation officer and global technology and digital economy leader, joins David Carlson, global industrials and manufacturing leader, to discuss key industry partnerships and the regulatory challenges shaping ride technology. Key Takeaways:Autonomous vehicles are moving from testing phases to everyday use, creating new considerations for transportation and risk management.Insurers now face the challenge of balancing multiple forms of liability — including product, auto and cyber — as technology reshapes mobility.Data is important as both a risk and an asset. Who collects it, who owns it and how it can be used will all be key, as will balancing the privacy issues around it. Experts in this episode:Jillian Slyfield — Global Chief Innovation Officer and Global Technology and Digital Economy Leader, AonDavid Carlson — Global Industrials and Manufacturing Leader, Aon Key moments: 0:45 The autonomous vehicles (AV) sector is expanding quickly — the industry is projected to grow from just over $100 billion in 2021 to more than $2 trillion by 2030, impacting how we think about mobility, risk and insurance. 10:40 The collection of data from autonomous vehicles will lead the way to better underwriting and faster claims adjudication in insurance. However, a big unresolved issue is who owns and can access this data. 15:00 Collaboration among insurers, brokers, fleet operators, OEMs and AV tech creators is at an all-time high and is critical to managing emerging risks. Additional Resources:Article: Navigating Risk in Transportation and Logistics: Gearing Up for Big Transitions | AonReport: Findings from Aon's Global Risk Management Survey | Tenth Edition Soundbites: Jillian Slyfield:“But coverage is changing. I wouldn't say that we need new forms of coverage, but we do need to think differently about the coverage that's in place and how to put it together in the best possible way. Sometimes we say it's like a jigsaw puzzle. Let's make sure the pieces are in the right places.” David Carlson:“The reality is people are still car enthusiasts. People love to drive cars still. That's just a reality. And so, I think in time, these things will evolve and we'll see more adoption.”

In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Navigating ERISA Disability Claims While Incarcerated."Most people assume ERISA disability benefits work the way they should: if you're disabled and can't work, your insurer will keep paying. But incarceration complicates everything. Insurers don't just review your diagnosis - they scrutinize your medical records, treatment history, and whether you're meeting every requirement for ongoing proof of disability. Missed documentation can lead to suspended or terminated benefits. In this episode, we break down the realities of managing ERISA disability benefits while incarcerated - a process full of misconceptions, unique hurdles, and insurer tactics many policyholders never expect. We start with a Minnesota farm worker whose benefits were cut off in prison, then examine a wheelchair-bound policyholder whose claim was wrongfully denied by MetLife after incarceration. These cases show how insurers interpret policy language, evaluate evidence, and where claims often derail. Finally, we turn to practical strategies: how to maintain medical documentation from inside a facility, communicate with insurers, and work with attorneys to protect your benefits before, during, and after incarceration. You'll learn that preserving ERISA disability benefits isn't just about your condition - it's about documentation, communication, and strategy. Let's dive in.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - Imprisoned Minnesota Farm Worker's Symetra Benefits TerminatedTwo - Wheelchair-Bound Policyholder Wrongfully Denied by MetLifeThree - Protecting Your ERISA Disability Benefits While IncarceratedWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

On Aon — Episode 96Opportunities in a Changing Market — What Risk Buyers Need to Know November 20, 2025420 words … about a minute readWhat's new: In the latest episode of On Aon, Global Chief Broking Officer Cynthia Beveridge and Global Chief Claims Officer Mona Barnes discuss emerging trends in the commercial risk market as it heads towards the January renewals period. They discuss how the market is becoming increasingly fragmented and explain the factors driving recent developments in claims, including heightened natural catastrophe exposures, macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures, rising cyber ransomware incidents and adverse litigation trends currently unfolding in the U.S.Experts in this episode:Cynthia Beveridge — Global Chief Broking Officer, Commercial Risk, AonMona Barnes — Global Chief Claims Officer, Commercial Risk, AonKey Takeaways:As organizations approach January renewals, they must adapt to a fragmented and rapidly evolving insurance market by reviewing and strengthening their risk programs.Despite generally favorable pricing, risk buyers face rising claims complexity and costs driven by natural catastrophes, inflation and adverse litigation trends.Success in today's environment depends on close collaboration with claims advocates and leveraging insurer performance data to build resilient strategies for emerging risks.Key moments:(2:01) Insurers are generally growth-focused, competing aggressively and are looking to differentiate themselves through pricing, terms and risk improvement support.(4:17) Natural catastrophes, increasing ransomware severity, macroeconomic pressures and adverse litigation trends are shaping claims trends.(8:48) The growing availability of data and alternative sources of capital such as parametric, captives, catastrophe bonds, multiyear structured and facultative solutions are helping clients.Soundbites:Cynthia Beveridge“Capacity has increased across much of the market during 2025. It's flowing in from both traditional insurers and the reinsurance market, but notably it's fragmented. While most placements can achieve full tower limits, the towers are really compromised. It's comprised of more insurers and more segments.”Mona Barnes“Claims inflation is contributing to increasing costs of everyday items as companies are looking to recoup losses by raising prices on all items, including food, housing and medical care — as well as insurance.”Listen for more: The “On Aon” podcast is available on Spotify, Simplecast and Apple Podcasts (iTunes)More Like This:Q3 2025: Global Insurance Market OverviewAon's Global Risk Management SurveyCyber and E&O: Pricing Holds, but Market Momentum is Shifting4 Strategies to Navigate Insurance Claims TrendsOptimizing Your Property Program: How to Use a Soft Market to Build Resilience

Nancy Mueller Handal, Chief Investment Officer of Insurance Asset Management at Bayview Asset Management, shares her insights on how insurers can pursue alpha through residential loans and asset-based finance. With extensive experience in structured credit, Nancy explains why residential whole loans can be a strong fit for insurance portfolios when managed with discipline and precision. She discusses the capital efficiency of the asset class, the appeal of agency-eligible and non-QM loans, and the role of thoughtful underwriting in mitigating risk. The discussion also covers the evolution of the residential credit market, the importance of robust data and infrastructure, and the risks that come with layered credit and valuation gaps. Nancy outlines how Bayview's platform approaches sourcing and portfolio construction at scale, and why residential loans can provide diversification and long-term value when approached with a careful, insurer-aligned strategy.

Payments might be the least glamorous part of insurance — but they're one of the most powerful levers for customer experience, efficiency, and competitive advantage.In this episode of Building Tomorrow's Insurer, Nigel Fellowes-Freeman sits down with Ed Wiley (Head of Growth, Monoova) and David Greene (Chief Commercial Officer, Monoova) to unpack one of the most overlooked transformation opportunities in insurance: how money actually moves.Monoova's team has spent decades reshaping payment infrastructure across industries.

In October, stakeholders representing an unusual combination of sectors — public, private, academic, non-profit and journalism — gathered with insurance industry experts at the 10X Convergence in Jacksonville, Florida, to explore solutions to unsustainable insurance and disaster recovery costs throughout the Interstate 10 region.Insurers continue to cancel homeowners policies across California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida as exposure to accelerating billion-dollar disasters undermines carriers' ability to pay out claims while remaining solvent. The industry crisis has begun to spread northward, where a widening Tornado Alley sees growing impacts from property-damaging storms. This is a complex, all-hands-on-deck issue. Insurance practices and building standards have not adapted to the realities of climate change, and have neglected potential to be of powerful mutual support to one another. On the whole, 10X Convergence participants were clear that viable solutions will require a combination of applied climate and economic research with proactive governance and communications strategies, and that this must be matched by industry willingness to innovate its systems of underwriting and community development. In this podcast, Ten Across journalists Maya Chari and Taylor Griffith take you through the problems and potential solutions discussed by the diverse group of experts at the 10X Convergence.

When your insurance card suddenly stops working, it is not just a glitch. It is the symptom of a deeper crisis in Indian healthcare. Hospitals say insurers have failed to update reimbursement rates despite medical inflation. Insurers say hospitals are inflating bills and resisting standardization.

SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Michael E. Hastings advanced legislation designed to protect homeowners from excessive insurance rate increases and ensure fairness, transparency and accountability in Illinois homeowners insurance. "With this legislation, we are putting fairness and accountability back into the system," said Hastings (D-Frankfort). "Here is what this means for Illinois homeowners — no more surprise renewals, no more fine print, no more ‘gotcha' letters in the mail.” The legislation would establish clear rules for homeowners insurance, including: No surprise renewals: Companies would be required to give at least 60 days' notice before nonrenewal and at least 60 days' notice for premium increases over 10% or changes in coverage or deductibles. Use of Illinois-specific data: Insurers would need to use credible state-specific loss experience when setting rates. Fair, reasonable and transparent rates: Rates would need to be actuarially sound and not excessive, inadequate or unfairly discriminatory. Accountability and enforcement: The Department of Insurance would be able to review filings, issue orders and require rebates when rates are found unfair. The legislation would apply specifically to fire and extended coverage insurance for residential owner occupied properties, while excluding commercial, rental and unoccupied properties. Hastings emphasized the legislation is leveling the playing field for Illinois residents. "We are tired of the industry cherry picking data from across the country when setting their rates,” said Hastings. “This legislation guarantees homeowners a fair shake, with rates based on real Illinois data." House Bill 3799 passed the Senate on Thursday.

Vital need for insurance to bridge the region’s ‘protection gap’ and drive the green transition. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Insurance is a safety net and is increasingly vital as climate change risks grow and as more people, homes and businesses are in the path of disaster. But in South-east Asia, the majority of people do not have access to insurance. And the region is facing worsening threats from floods, sea-level rise and heat stress. Only 5 to 7 per cent of all climate-related losses are insured in South-east Asia, says Mr Daniel Fairweather, head of food security systems and biodiversity at Howden, an insurance broking firm. But there is plenty of hope to bridge this “protection gap”, he tells Green Pulse podcast hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty. There are insurance products that can help communities when disaster strikes by rapidly releasing cash payments to meet emergency needs. Mutualised insurance risk pools that combine premiums can also pay out in times of need. Two things are key: Insurers need to work closely with governments and businesses to better assess climate risks and vulnerabilities. Secondly, spread the financial risk by building connections across the region, such as linking up local and national insurance mechanisms, such as risk pools. “Every risk is insurable,” Mr Fairweather says, adding that insurance coverage is also critical to accelerate green investments in the region. Have a listen, and let us know what you think! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:04 What are some of South-east Asia’s top climate change risks? 4:51 Will insurance losses increase mainly because of climate change or for other reasons, too? 9:10 What are some of the insurance products that can protect communities in the region? 16:06 In some places in the US, insurance coverage has been withdrawn. What’s the reason for this? 24:28 What about the role of insurance in boosting green initiatives in South-east Asia. Is it a catalyst? 28:28 Can the insurance industry thrive despite the rapid march of climate change?
