• Conduct interviews with insureds, claimants, witnesses, contractors, and other relevant parties. Document all interactions thoroughly, capturing key statements, observations, and inconsistencies, and accurately enter detailed notes into internal claims management systems.
• Identify and evaluate potential subrogation opportunities by analyzing liability factors and third-party involvement. Preserve evidence and coordinate with subrogation teams or legal partners to support recovery efforts when applicable.
• Collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders including claims examiners, supervisors and legal teams and external partners, such as, contractors, public adjusters and attorneys to produce clear, well-supported reports. Ensure findings support accurate valuation of damages and informed claim decisions.
• Deliver exceptional customer service by maintaining consistent communication, setting clear expectations, and addressing inquiries promptly. Represent the company with professionalism, empathy, and integrity throughout the claims process, even in challenging or high-stress situations.
