Where to Find Brian at Connected Claims USA
Brian is scheduled to join the panel discussion “United We Stand: The Case for Defense Industry Data Sharing.”

The panel will explore how defense industry data sharing can help identify litigation trends sooner, strengthen case evaluation strategies, and improve decision-making across the claims process.
Brian will also be presenting on “The Defense Advantage: Powered by Verdict, Venue, Appraisal & ADR Data,” a look at how claims organizations can turn the outcomes of past disputes into better decisions on today’s claims.
The Next Evolution in Claims: Intelligence Before Litigation
For years, the industry has focused on estimating damages and managing claims after they escalate. The next step is using intelligence and predictive insight to spot risk sooner, deploy resources more effectively, and improve outcomes throughout the claim lifecycle.
Much of that intelligence sits in what happens before a lawsuit is filed. Appraisal decisions, mediation results, and arbitration outcomes reveal patterns about why disputes escalate. Too often, the industry looks only at lawsuits and verdicts and overlooks this earlier data.
As Brian put it in his own preview of the session: “The future isn’t simply handling claims faster. It’s identifying and resolving disputes before they become litigation.”
“The best lawsuit is often the one that never gets filed.” — Brian Bradley, President & CEO, BSA Claims Solutions
Used well, appraisal and ADR outcomes can help carriers resolve claims sooner, reduce friction, and create a better experience for policyholders while managing cost and risk.
Questions Brian Will Explore
Many organizations still struggle to identify which claims are most likely to escalate into litigation, ADR, or prolonged disputes. Brian’s session will take on that challenge directly with questions such as:
- How can carriers identify claims with a higher likelihood of litigation or appraisal from day one?
- Are appraisal and ADR outcomes being used effectively to improve future claim decisions?
- How do we get the right adjusters, experts, counsel, and resources involved before costs escalate?
- Where can AI help claims teams make better decisions while preserving the human expertise that drives this industry?
Why BSA’s Perspective Matters to Carriers
BSA Claims Solutions works on behalf of insurance carriers, which gives us a view across many organizations at once. We see trends across multiple carriers, jurisdictions, venues, appraisal programs, ADR outcomes, defense firms, plaintiff firms, and claim types.
Those patterns often emerge long before they become visible inside a single organization. That cross-industry view is the heart of the case for defense industry data sharing: when outcomes are understood across the market, carriers can recognize litigation trends sooner and evaluate cases with more confidence.
This builds on the work BSA already does for carrier partners, from pre-suit appraisal and mediation to litigated claims handling and litigation management. The goal is the same throughout: help carriers control costs, resolve disputes efficiently, and deliver a better claims experience for their policyholders.
