About Russ Riggs

I am seeking a professional Casualty Claims position where a decade of experience as a claims adjuster, and paralegal, with industry education, will bring value. My work experience involves a file inventory of all perils, from complex bodily injuries to litigation of both personal and commercial lines. Responsibilities include investigating the cause of loss, analytical thinking for the mechanism of injury, verifying coverage, policy interpretation, determining liability, recognizing the exposure, posting reserves, evaluating claims on their own merits, using case law when appropriate, and negotiating claims with both claimants and attorneys to settlement. I can assure you I know how to make the right decision for the company by paying what is owed, work independently, and have the ability to prioritize my time to keep my files organized with all necessary documentation. A quick review of my LinkedIn profile will show you 10 years of casualty claims experience, a solid educational foundation, and track record of results for which you are seeking. I have completed the required coursework to earn the designation of an Associates in Claims,(AIC) from The Institutes, and Senior Claims Law Associate,(SCLA) from the American Educational Institute. I have handled claims in multiple jurisdictions and have met the requirements to secure State Property & Casualty License in the following states: AZ, AL, CA, FL, GA, ID, KY, LA, MI, MN, MS, MT, NJ, NM OK, SC, TX, UT, and WY.
