Job Description
Company Overview
Brown & Brown is the 5th largest intermediary business in the world with over 23,000 teammates and offices throughout the US and Europe. Brown & Brown Claims is the in-house claims team responsible for handling claims on behalf of the international underwriting division. The department manages a diverse portfolio of household, commercial and liability claims, supporting customers from first notification of loss through to settlement while delivering excellent customer outcomes and maintaining strong insurer relationships.
Overview
Reporting directly to the Senior Claims Supervisor, the Liability Claims Handler is responsible for the investigation, validation, negotiation and settlement of Third-Party Property Damage (TPPD) claims arising under combined liability insurance policies.
Whilst the primary focus of the role is the handling of Third-Party Property Damage claims, the successful candidate will also manage a small allocation of lower-value Personal Injury claims. This will include minor injury and straightforward bodily injury matters, requiring the handler to assess medical evidence, evaluate quantum, consider causation and negotiate settlements in line with insurer philosophy and prevailing claims protocols. An understanding of personal injury claims handling principles is therefore highly desirable and will support effective management of the wider liability portfolio.
