We're determined to make a difference and are proud to be an insurance company that goes well beyond coverages and policies. Working here means having every opportunity to achieve your goals - and to help others accomplish theirs, too. Join our team as we help shape the future.

This is a visible and important role within our Complex Claims Unit (CCU) Hartford Global Specialty (HGS) Claims Division. As a Claims Specialist, you will be responsible for handling a caseload of higher complexity, higher exposure, bodily injury, and construction related bodily injury claims from inception to final disposition. These claims will involve both primary and excess coverages and often involve complex fact patterns requiring analysis of contracts between parties to determine indemnity and contribution obligations and risk transfer opportunities. As these claims are often in litigation, experience handling litigated matters and managing defense counsel is required, as is prior experience handling bodily injury claims. Excess claims handling experience is recommended but not required.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited, to:

Managing a caseload of litigated and non-litigated construction bodily injury claims under commercial general liability policies.

Conducting investigations and analyzing and evaluating the information learned.

Making coverage determinations and communicating written position(s) to insureds and other required parties.

Within prescribed authority levels, setting appropriate expense and indemnity reserves and monitoring on a regular basis for any needed adjustment.

Presenting cases to management for expense or indemnity reserve authority above established authority levels.

Developing and implementing resolution strategies to achieve high quality outcomes.

Proactively managing litigation and counsel, inclusive of litigation planning and execution, budgeting and bill review.

Attending trials and mediations, as necessary.

Contributing to broader claim and enterprise goals by participating in audits, projects and product development initiatives.

Preparing comprehensive reports and delivering presentations to senior claim leadership on case developments, policy issues, industry trends, etc.

Working with business partners to evaluate and address claim trends and developments.

Addressing inquiries from agents and policyholders and providing superior customer service.

Position Requirements:

Bachelor's degree preferred, law degree a plus or commensurate experience

Minimum of seven years handling complex litigated bodily injury claims

Familiarity with owner and contractor-controlled insurance policies and programs as well as wrap policies, is a plus

Experience handling New York Labor Law claims is a plus
