AI May Be Big, But Nothing Replaces People In Workers’ Comp Claims

AI may be changing the Workers’ Compensation insurance industry, but that doesn’t diminish the importance of a personal touch. Guest Michael Kelley leads the HUB International claims adjustment team in New England and explains how bringing cases to a satisfying conclusion for all involved can be as much of an art as a science. 

There’s room for both automation and technology and face-to-face discussion, understanding the nuances of every situation, and negotiating. 

Kelly shares his process and how he puts his 40+ years of experience to work, from soup to nuts. Hear what he considers and how he works with both employers and third-party insurers to reach a settlement that fairly compensates a worker while making sure a claims provider stays in business. 

What role will today’s emerging AI technology play? Kelley says it can be an excellent tool for efficiency, but nothing will replace an adjuster’s wisdom and experience.
