Litigation Claims Examiner

Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting-edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture-backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long-standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.

We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need people who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long-standing challenges of the claims role sounds exciting, we can’t wait to meet you.

We are seeking a skilled BI‑LIT Claims Examiner to manage litigated files and attend trials, conferences, mediations, and arbitrations. The successful candidate will:

• Investigate and gather all necessary information and documentation related to claims
• Evaluate liability and damages
• Negotiate and settle claims
• Manage litigation cases related to auto claims disputes

The BI‑LIT Claims Examiner will also be responsible for maintaining electronic files, analyzing defense counsel's performance, and regularly reporting to the Claims Manager. In addition, you will collaborate closely with our product and engineering teams to give feedback and identify technology and process improvements.

• Highly motivated and growth-oriented. You’re excited by the prospect of building a tech-driven claims org.
• Passionate adjuster who cares about the customer and their experience.
• Empathetic. You exercise empathy and patience towards everyone you interact with.

• Conflict‑enjoyer. Conflict does not have to be adversarial, but it HAS to be conversational.
• Curious. You have to want to know the whole story so you can make the right decisions early and action them to a prompt resolution.
• Anti‑status quo. You don’t just wish things were done differently, you action on it.
• Communicative. (we'd love to know what this means to you)
• And did we mention, a sense of humor. Claims are hard enough as it is.

We need you to do all the things typical to the role:

• Managing legal aspects of litigated cases, including evaluation of legal process and expenses
• Analyzing and reviewing auto insurance claims to identify areas of dispute, investigating and gathering all necessary information and documentation related to the claim, evaluating liability and damages related to the claim, and negotiating and settling claims with opposing parties or their insurance providers
• Managing litigation cases related to auto claims disputes, attending mediations, arbitrations, and court hearings as necessary, and communicating regularly with clients, claims adjusters, attorneys, and other stakeholders
• Collaborating with defense counsel, claims counsel, and litigation claims management for strategic planning, including developing and maintaining positive working relationships with approved defense firms and other vendors in the industry
• Reviewing legal documents and ensuring compliance with initial suit‑handing plan of action
• Serving as corporate representative for discovery review and depositions, and appearing as Corporate Representative at depositions and trials when needed
• Analyzing policy language and reaching appropriate coverage decisions, drafting frequent and complex coverage correspondence, and proactively managing primarily litigated claim files from inception to closure
