In this episode of Claim Hunters, your host Chris Tidball speaks with Hope Remetta, Director of Claims at Berkley Industrial Comp.

Hope explains her team's focus on high-severity workers' compensation claims, including fatalities, amputations, and traumatic brain injuries, involving highly skilled workers in hazardous industries. She highlights Berkley's flexible, creative approach to claims management, sharing a notable amputation case where specialized prosthetic care helped an injured worker return to work. Hope also discusses fraud challenges, third-party recoveries, and her accidental career path from aspiring speech pathologist to 21-year claims industry veteran, starting at Liberty Mutual before joining Berkley.
