Senior* Claims Specialist - Medical Malpractice & Complex Commercial Liability* Location: 100% Remote (U.S.) Contract Duration: 6 Months (Contract-to-Hire Potential) Pay: $36-$45 per hour About the Role We are seeking an experienced Senior* Claims Specialist* with deep expertise in complex medical malpractice claims, along with exposure to broader commercial liability claims. This role is ideal for candidates who have managed high-severity healthcarerelated losses and are also comfortable handling select complex commercial exposures such as general liability, auto liability, or professional liability. In this position, you will independently manage a sophisticated caseload involving hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, and healthcare systems-while also supporting commercial claim files that require analytical rigor and strong coverage interpretation. This is a fully remote contract role with the possibility of extension or conversion into a longterm opportunity. Key Responsibilities * Manage a portfolio of high-exposure medical malpractice claims, including catastrophic injury, institutional healthcare claims, and physician liability cases. * Handle a smaller subset of complex commercial liability claims, applying strong coverage knowledge and investigative skills. * Conduct thorough investigations, including reviewing medical records, interviewing insureds/claimants, evaluating standardofcare issues, and determining liability and damages. * Verify coverage by interpreting policy provisions across both healthcare and commercial lines of business. * Establish and adjust reserves accurately and in a timely manner. * Develop and execute strategic claim resolution plans, including negotiation, litigation oversight, and settlement strategy. * Collaborate with attorneys, medical experts, and internal commercial claims partners to move claims toward resolution. * Identify subrogation, salvage, and fraud indicators and initiate appropriate referrals. * Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and maintain complete, detailed claim documentation. * Prepare and present concise claim summaries, including escalation of highrisk or highvalue files to leadership. Required Qualifications * Extensive experience handling complex medical malpractice claims (hospital, nursing home, physician, or other healthcare entity claims). * Proven ability to independently manage high-severity, highlimit claims. * Background handling commercial liability claims such as general liability, auto liability, or professional malpractice. * Active adjuster license in multiple states. * Strong understanding of coverage analysis, litigation management, and healthcarerelated legal issues. * Ability to write detailed coverage letters and explain complex determinations clearly. * Excellent investigative, analytical, and negotiation skills. Preferred Qualifications * Experience with enterprise claims platforms or claims center systems. * Hybrid Background combining medical malpractice litigation (paralegal/attorney) with handson claims handling (required if legal experience is present). * Familiarity with claims involving limits of $1M or higher. Work Environment * 100% remote during the contract phase. * Contract-to-hire potential depending on business need. * If hired permanently, hybrid work (2 days/week onsite) may be required at a U.S. office. Why This Opportunity Stands Out * Heavy emphasis on complex medical malpractice claims, with the opportunity to engage in broader commercial claim work. * Competitive compensation and exposure to high-value, high-impact claims. * Chance to support the healthcare liability segment for a major national insurer.
