- Evaluate damages using estimates, invoices, reports, and photos; apply depreciation, limits, deductibles, and sub‑limits correctly.
- For property: scope losses, validate cause of loss, and reconcile contractor estimates; request and review expert reports as needed.
- For casualty: assess liability and comparative fault; evaluate injury severity, specials, and general damages.
- Prepare and negotiate settlements that are fair, fast, and consistent with facts, policy, and jurisdictional law.
- Set, monitor, and adjust reserves based on exposure; escalate outliers early.
- Coordinate IA/field resources, experts, and vendors; give precise instructions and hold them accountable.
