McCathern partner Ty Sheaks will participate in a panel discussion on Thursday, September 26th at the 2019 Fall Conference of the Dallas – Ft. Worth chapter of RIMS. The Fall Conference is DFW RIMS’ largest event of the year, and is attended by hundreds of risk managers, insurance service companies, students and other practitioners in the risk management and insurance (RM&I) industry.
The panel discussion, scheduled to begin at 11:25am central time, is entitled “Claims Settlement – Getting the Claim Set for Settlement”. Ty will be joined by five other experts to discuss the nuances of the claims-settlement process with an eye geared toward effective settlement strategies, from preparation before a claim is made through to settlement or litigation.
“Effective claims management strategy is constantly evolving to address the variety and ever-increasing volume of claims,” Ty said. “Hopefully this session will prompt interactive discussion for attendees to take back to ensure their internal claims process achieve the desired results.”
