At The Plexus Groupe, we’re always reading up on the latest insurance news.  
 With this in mind, here are a half-dozen stories about our industry that we're checking out:

-- Did an aging soccer stadium in Hartford, Connecticut lack a [liability insurance policy](http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-dillon-insurance-20160329-story.html) – and will it prevent the city from recouping the money it alleges to be owed from a stalled redevelopment plan?

-- Can [cyber insurance](http://www.businessinsurance.com/article/20160329/NEWS06/160329792/homeland-security-cyber-security-subcommittee-calls-for-strengthened?tags=%7C73%7C76%7C299%7C302) play a role in the prevention of cyber crime? In Congressional testimony last week, a U.S. representative from Texas suggested it could help.

-- Does something seem fishy about a [workers' compensation claim](http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2016/03/28/403152.htm)? Social media might lend some clues.

-- Pet insurance is big business in Great Britain, with [nearly $945 million](http://news.sky.com/story/1668666/pet-insurance-claims-climb-to-record-657m) in claims paid in 2015.

-- Here’s a useful feature from *The Wall Street Journal* on the need to know the ins and outs of your [health insurance](http://www.wsj.com/articles/will-your-health-plan-cover-you-abroad-1459130765?shareToken=stc1d1cb127b4d4d7abe3ab0ebfe8a9cde&mod=e2tw) before heading out of the U.S.
