AdvertisementOfficials reportedly found bullet casings with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" on them at Brian Thompson's murder scene. The words are similar to the title of a 2010 book about the insurance industry, "Delay Deny Defend." Multiple news outlets said that the shell cases found at the scene were inscribed with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose." A major part of this shift occurred when insurance companies, including Allstate in 1992, hired consulting giant McKinsey & Company, he said. The insurance companies started using computer systems to estimate the amounts to be paid and deterring claimants from hiring lawyers, he said.
