According to Joseph L. Petrelli, President, Demotech, Inc., "We chose the title 'A Tale of Two Tails' to emphasize the fact that plaintiff and defense attorneys view the elongation of claim reporting, litigation, and the associated protraction of the ultimate determination of the cost of a claim quite differently.  This webinar discusses root causes of the differences in perspective in the hope we can move forward to favorably impacting affordability and availability issues."
