Claims managers at Munich Re

Claims managers are responsible for handling and controlling the claims covered by Munich Re. They calculate the loss amount and determine Munich Re’s legal obligation to indemnify a claim. To do this, they conduct on-site loss inspections and negotiate directly with the insurers regarding all cover and liability issues and potential loss-minimisation measures that benefit all concerned. Munich Re needs experienced claims managers, usually with a background in law or engineering. These experts work hand in hand with our underwriters and client managers. They pass on their claims experience and use their legal or technical expertise to advise clients on risk and loss assessment, claims handling and reserves.
