    María Elena Huerta, Partner in the Insurance and Reinsurance practice, was interviewed by El Asegurador regarding the Mexican Supreme Court's decision to establish the UMA as the benchmark for calculating death compensation, analysing its impact on civil liability claims and the legal challenges that may arise from this ruling.

The interview discusses how this change could reduce compensation amounts, reshape the landscape for insurers in civil liability litigation, and open new debates on the adequacy of financial reparations in Mexico.
