Claims expertise:
After graduating from the Massachusetts School of Law in 2009, Daniel adapted surveillance reports into actionable evidence for an insurance fraud management company. He then took a role with a medical provider caring for patients throughout the auto insurance and workers compensation claim lifecycle. This led Daniel to become well versed in negotiating with insurance adjusters, third-party administrators, claimants and attorneys on both sides of the claim. As a litigated claims specialist, Daniel focused his efforts on the most complicated injury claims where the legal issues could drag on for years. Negotiating the resolution of claims between multiple parties became a daily focus.
Daniel then began serving as an adjuster and account manager at a third-party administrator for complex long-tail claims involving asbestos, hazardous waste, and concussion related sports injuries. During this period, Daniel grew his proficiency in the analysis of employer’s liability and general liability, including issues related to the London insuring markets.
