What You'll Do
As a Total Loss Claims Rep, you will:
Evaluate claims of basic to moderate complexity requiring expertise in private passenger auto, commercial auto, tractor trailers, heavy equipment, watercrafts, trailers, motorcycles, and other land-based off road or specialty vehicles. Review pertinent information including repair estimates, unrelated prior damage estimates, photos, vehicle conditioning, and actual value to make accurate repair / total loss decisions that adhere to state specific thresholds.
Conduct and review valuations through company approved vendors and conduct further research as necessary to determine appropriate cash value for various auto and specialist vehicles. Adhere to state-specific compliance including completion and submission of required forms, taxes, and fees.
Explain procedures and denials to claimants where coverage does not exist. Refer payment or denial of claims that exceed assigned authorization limits to management with settlement recommendations. Document all decisions, correspondence, reports, and discussions that occur during the claim handling process.
Coordinate rental vehicles for claimants as necessary and manage any claim expenses including, but not limited to, advance changes, salvage, rental, and outside vendor expenses, ensuring services are properly covered for claimants while controlling expenses.
