This post continues the countdown of my top ten posts of 2025. I was aiming to finish the countdown by the first of the year, but the road to heck is paved with good intentions and all that. I will now settle for finishing the countdown before the last week of the month if I can. (If memory serves, I was way later than that finishing last year’s countdown of my top ten posts from 2024). For those of you new to the countdown, you can find the ground rules here.

There are 90 million reasons to read the seventh and sixth most popular posts on my blog or LinkedIn in 2025, namely the $90 million in bad faith damages entered against Liberty Mutual, which is discussed in both posts. Today I cover the seventh most popular post from 2025, which was titled “What’s a Nuclear Verdict When Doubled for Insurer Bad Faith?” It’s the story and lessons of a massive bad faith verdict, and of the fact that it was massive because it came on top of a nuclear verdict in the underlying tort action itself. The sixth most popular, which I will cover the next time, discusses additional issues raised by the same judgment.

You can find the seventh most popular post here. Hope you enjoy it.
