Meghan Hvizdos, Vice President of claims for MV Transportation, Inc. in Dallas, joins USLAW Live co-hosts Pam Hallford of Carr Allison in Dothan, Alabama, and Mike Judy of Dysart Taylor in Kansas City, Missouri, for a great conversation about the transportation and claims industry, how to provide the best service as outside counsel, the importance of building trusted and reliable teams (internally and with outside counsel and TPAs) plus a few career trajectory tips. Meghan’s career has taken her from over-the-road trucks to the transit industry, and her passion for trucking and transportation has led her to many interesting roles. She is eight months into her role as VP of claims for MV, the largest minority-owned, privately held passenger transportation contracting services firm in North America and a leader in providing specialized, on-demand ADA-compliant transportation for people with disabilities and the elderly. In her new role, Meghan is triaging a massive list of both old and new claims, and she shares what that entails from her perspective. Meghan, Mike, and Pam also discuss world travels, wine tasting, puppies and Post-it note to-do lists. Tune into this fun conversation on USLAW Live.
USLAW Live is supported by USLAW corporate partners S-E-A, American Legal Records, Arcadia Settlements Group, Immersion Legal Jury, Marshall Investigative Group and MDD Forensic Accountants
