COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Demotech, Inc. President and Co-founder Joseph Petrelli is proud to announce a focused, educational opportunity available to American Trucking Associations (ATA) members. "Triggered by Tech: The Hidden Forces Driving Litigation Frequency and the Policy Shift Now Required" will be available to ATA members on September 22, 2026, at 2 PM ET. 

According to Petrelli, the webinar will expose how emerging technologies have covertly accelerated litigation frequency. Summarizing Demotech's research as a critical warning signal for the industry, attendees will gain an understanding of the mechanisms behind tech-enabled litigation instigation and the data patterns revealing its growth and brute force. Further, Joe will outline policy vulnerabilities that make insurers and consumers increasingly susceptible to this business model. Petrelli will outline the regulatory and public policy responses necessary to counter this business model and discuss how industry leaders can prepare and respond to rapidly evolving risk, litigation, and legal landscapes.
