Full Job Description
Location Requirement
Candidates must reside in an eligible U.S. state throughout employment. We are unable to hire candidates residing in California, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, or outside the United States.
About the role
The AV Litigation Adjuster manages suits arising from autonomous and driver-assist vehicle incidents from the day of service through resolution. AV suits often add product-liability and technology claims to a standard negligence case, so the role directs defense counsel, controls discovery of sensitive technical data, and drives early, well-supported resolution.
What you'll do
Manage the litigation inventory: assign and direct defense counsel, approve plans and budgets, and review bills against guidelines
Build the liability and damages case with counsel using vehicle data, video, software and sensor records, and expert input, while coordinating discovery and preservation holds that protect proprietary technical information
Retain and manage experts, including accident reconstruction, AV systems and human-factors, medical, and economic specialists
Evaluate exposure, set reserves, and prepare reserve and settlement recommendations for carrier and client review
Attend mediations, settlement conferences, and trial as needed, negotiating resolution within authority and pursuing contribution, indemnity, and subrogation against manufacturers, suppliers, and other parties
Track emerging AV case law, state statutes, and regulatory developments, and report on inventory, trends, and key cases to the Team Lead and client partners
Who you are
Detailed understanding of the SAE J3016 levels of driving automation (Levels 0-5), including how driver-assist (Levels 0-2) and driverless (Levels 3-5) systems shift responsibility among the human, the system, and the operator
Determine who or what was in control at the time of loss: human driver, driver-assist feature, or automated driving system
Request, preserve, and read AV evidence, including telematics, event data, camera and sensor footage, remote-assistance logs, and software version
Apply coverage, liability, and damages analysis across fleet-operator, manufacturer, supplier, and third-party exposures
Work with AV operator safety, legal, and risk teams under tight response timelines while meeting federal and state crash-reporting, privacy, and data-handling requirements
