A joint report by NICB and 4WARN®

Overview

Third Party Litigation Funding (TPLF) is fueling a new wave of digital risk. Opportunists are spending hundreds of millions of dollars each year on paid search, content, and online campaigns designed to influence claims, escalate disputes, and increase costs for companies. To better understand the scale of this problem, 4WARN partnered with the National Insurance
Crime Bureau (NICB) on a first-of-its-kind Threat Assessment. This collaboration combines NICB’s industry leadership with 4WARN’s proven intelligence to show how opportunists, funders, and their digital partners operate and what organizations can do to reduce their exposure.
