Crum & Forster announced late last week that it has hired George Burr as Vice President, California Workers' Compensation Claims.  Burr will manage C&F's West Coast workers' compensation claims office located in Orange, California.

George Burr brings extensive workers' compensation claims experience to Crum & Forster, most recently serving as Vice President, Claims Operations for Seabright Insurance Company with responsibility for their Western Claims Division.  He began his insurance career as a workers' compensation claims adjuster with Safeco Insurance, and subsequently held a number of management roles at Safeco including responsibility for field and home office workers' compensation claim technical functions.   Burr received a B.S. in Business Administration from Chapman University.

Stephen Eisenmann, Senior Vice President, Claims, to whom George Burr will report said, "We are excited to have someone with George's knowledge and experience in workers' compensation claims heading up our West Coast claims operation. George is a welcome addition to the claims management team as he shares C&F's proactive claim management philosophy of early exposure recognition and high customer service standards."

It was also reported last week through anonymous sources that Tom Weisz, the Regional Claims Manager of the Crum & Forster Orange office, has just left the company.  Tom Weisz was several years ago before joining C&F the Claims Manager of AIG in Costa Mesa. 

Crum & Forster is a national insurance group that is part of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited.
