Make an Impact on Where It Matters

At The Black Car Fund, we don’t just manage claims, we support the drivers who keep New York moving. As a not-for-profit dedicated to providing workers’ compensation insurance, safety education, and benefits to For-Hire drivers, our work directly affects thousands of lives every day.

We’re looking for an experienced New York Workers’ Compensation Claims Adjuster who is both detail-driven and people-focused, someone who takes pride in managing claims effectively while delivering meaningful outcomes.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Mission-driven work that supports essential workers
• Flexible work environment (hybrid or fully remote)
• Competitive compensation + signing bonus
• Some opportunity for growth within a collaborative, forward-thinking team

What You’ll Do:

As a key member of our Claims team, you’ll take full ownership of your caseload, from intake through resolution, while making informed decisions that balance compliance, care, and cost.

Key responsibilities include:

• Evaluate new claims for compensability, including making 3-point contacts

• Guide assistant team members on EDI form completion
• Represent cases at hearings when required
• Partner with internal teams and external vendors
• Develop and execute strategic Plans of Action for each claim
• Negotiate and settle claims when appropriate
• Maintain thorough, accurate documentation
• Stay current on industry through training and seminars
• Contribute to special projects and team initiatives

What You Bring:

You’re a proactive professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to balance technical expertise with sound judgment.

Required:

• 4+ years of Workers’ Compensation Claims Adjusting experience
• Strong knowledge of New York workers’ compensation laws and regulations
• Familiarity with medical and legal terminology related to injury claims

What Sets You Apart:

• Strong negotiation and analytical skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively
• Highly organized with a solutions-oriented mindset
• Clear communicator, both speaking and writing, with a strong attention to detail

If you're looking for a role where your expertise truly makes a difference, and where flexibility, purpose, and professional growth come together, we’d love to hear from you.
