You handle auto-liability claims — third-party bodily-injury and property-damage claims brought against your insured drivers — working with claimants, attorneys, and witnesses to investigate liability and resolve the claim.
The role centers on the investigation-and-negotiation arc of liability files — taking claimant statements, reviewing police reports, working with insured drivers, evaluating damages, negotiating settlements or supporting litigation. Settlement quality and reserves adequacy anchor the operating measures.
What complicates the day-to-day is the adversarial liability dimension — third-party claimants often have attorneys, and reps work claims that may go to suit if negotiation fails. Variance across employers is sharp: standard-auto carriers handle high-volume liability work; non-standard carriers run more litigation-heavy claim portfolios; commercial-auto liability carries larger exposures and longer resolution timelines.
It fits people analytically careful, comfortable across adversarial claim conversations, and steady through the multi-year arc that liability files sometimes take. AIC, CPCU, and SCLA credentials anchor advancement. The trade-off is the litigation-exposure dimension — files can become evidence in court, and the rep's investigation work faces scrutiny under deposition.
