Since 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of small business customers across the United States get fast, customized and affordable coverage. We’re backed by industry leaders in insurance and tech, and we still have room to grow — that’s where you come in.

The candidate must be a highly skilled Claims Specialist who can handle a range of complex cases, including Bad Faith claims, documented cases of daycare abuse/molestation, fatalities involving coverage issues, and construction defect cases involving multiple parties and complex contractual issues.

• Centralize Declaratory Relief Actions by taking charge of coverage files and coordinating with relevant parties.
• Handle severe injury cases with complex issues, including coverage, liability, or damages concerns.
• Evaluate policy limit exposures, ensuring a true policy limit exposure exists and the potential for extra-contractual exposure is real.
• Address problematic claims that require dedicated attention to achieve resolution.

What We Need: 

• At least 15-20 years of directly related experience with Commercial General Liability and Litigation
• Previous experience in handling complex claims, particularly in the areas of Bad Faith, daycare abuse/molestation, fatalities with coverage issues, and construction defect cases involving multiple parties and complex contracts.
