How you will create an impact

Are you interested in handling some of the largest and most complex Casualty claims in the industry? Your deep technical claims expertise will be put to the test in the investigation, evaluation and disposition of new and existing 3rd party property and casualty claims. These multimillion-dollar claims include multi-vehicle auto accidents, plant explosions, catastrophic product liability claims and other complex losses. You will be required to review coverage under Excess Commercial General liability and auto policies and participate in the investigation of the claim. You will direct the litigation, attend mediations and trials, assess liability and damages, and recommend reserves. It will be necessary to present the large value cases to senior management. You will need excellent customer service skills in communicating with insureds, brokers, attorneys, and claimants. Only the most highly skilled negotiators will succeed in resolving these claims in the toughest venues against the most elite plaintiff attorneys.
