Insurance expert Paul F Amoruso provides property casualty consulting on claims practices

Property Casualty Insurance Consulting Services

Property casualty insurance matters can involve questions about claims handling, company procedures, agency responsibilities, coverage decisions, and accepted industry practices. I provide independent insurance consulting based on more than 55 years of experience across multiple areas of the insurance industry.

My background includes serving as a Senior Vice President of Claims and Operations, along with experience as a licensed insurance agent and former public adjuster. This perspective allows me to examine insurance questions in the context of how claims organizations, insurance companies, and agencies operate.

Claims handling and insurance operations

Claims Handling and Insurance Operations

Insurance claims can involve operational and procedural questions extending beyond the initial coverage decision. Depending on the matter, I may evaluate claims investigation, case handling, settlement considerations, reserves, authority levels, payment practices, and the procedures used to manage a claim.

My work may also address management involvement, staffing and claims backlogs, training, suit handling, attorney bills, medical payment issues, timeliness of payments, and company philosophies concerning loss and expense payments.

For matters involving insurance agents or agencies, I can address questions concerning responsibilities, procedures, communications, coverage issues, and the relationship between an agency and an insurance company.

Expert Trial Testimony

I provide expert trial testimony concerning property casualty insurance matters in State and Federal court. My testimony may address usual and customary insurance practices, claims handling, company procedures, insurance agency issues, insurance operations, good faith and potential bad faith considerations, and other subjects within my professional experience.

I have testified more than 40 times across more than 20 states, with experience in matters involving both plaintiff and defense attorneys. My focus is on explaining insurance principles, procedures, and accepted industry practices clearly and objectively.
