Our Services

The world of Claims continues to face new and difficult challenges. Property insurers are facing challenges on many fronts: increases in materials and costs, labor shortages and changing weather patterns. A single claim might be your largest of the year. The Casualty business is volatile, unpredictable, and long tail: Nuclear verdicts, policy limits demands, and increased bad faith litigation have become the new normal. 

Gen Re Claims is here to help.

As part of the Gen Re commitment to excellence, our experienced and dedicated Claims team is genuinely there for our clients. Our direct relationship with you eliminates the middleman, ensuring that your claims receive immediate attention: Our standard is to issue your payment within 5 business days – no need to spend time or resources chasing your reinsurance recoverables. 

We provide you with knowledge and information designed to fit your needs. Our claims reviews provide meaningful observations and feedback on individual losses, claims handling practices and operations.

We will focus our review on what matters most to you – claims adjustment, reserving, operational reviews, etc.

We see large losses every day from across the industry, and we share our knowledge and perspective with our clients. Your assigned Claims Executive will work closely with you to ensure that you have the resources and information to help you make the best decisions for your business.

Put our knowledge and expertise to work for you.

Our Casualty and Workers’ Comp teams provide technical expertise in a variety of subject areas, from individualized training on a new line of business, to acting as a sounding board on difficult and unusual claims, assisting with expansion into new jurisdictions, and third-party administrator vetting.

Our Property team provides insights on coverage, claim adjustment and assessment, salvage and subrogation, and litigation – and more. We also have experience with experts and consultants throughout the country who can respond quickly when expert technical knowledge and speed is critical. 

We host training workshops, Claims Roundtables, and Webinars for clients to refine their technical claims capabilities, allowing them to stay abreast of and engage in thought-provoking discussions on trends and special-interest topics with insurance and reinsurance industry peers.

We’ve spoken on topics such as these: Emerging Issues, Social Inflation, Nuclear Verdicts, Public Nuisance, Biometric Information, Claim Reserving, EPLI, Business Interruption, Green Construction, Builders Risk, Contract Terms and Conditions, Valued Policy Laws, Subrogation Laws, and Lessons from Losses.
