We serve the growing insurance and risk management needs of medium and large governmental entities and provide property and casualty insurance coverages in multiple states.
Role Overview
The Tokio Marine HCC - Public Risk Group is seeking a self-motivated Claims Attorney to join our growing Claims Department and handle litigated and non-litigated claims primarily arising under Auto and General Liability, as well as potentially some Law Enforcement, Public Officials, and Employment Practices liability policies in various jurisdictions.
If you are looking to enhance your legal career and/or insurance industry experience in a fast-paced, ever-expanding insurance company, we have an exciting opportunity to join our Casualty Claims team.
Key Responsibilities
This position involves interpretation of coverage and requires collaboration with outside counsel in analyzing and resolving claims within designated limits of authority. This includes investigation, analysis of liability and damages exposure, drafting and issuance of coverage position letters, and development of strategies for resolution of litigated and non-litigated claims. The Claims Attorney is also responsible for determination of probable loss exposure and establishment of reserves, as well as maintenance of claim files and documents in accordance with Company policy and procedure. This individual will report to a senior member of the Casualty and Litigation management team and will work claims with limited supervision from his or her desk.
