Dr. Daniel Koch

Background

I am an attorney and a certified specialist in medical law with many years of in-house experience in liability insurance. My focus lies on the legal and strategic management of medical liability cases, particularly in medical malpractice, major loss claims, and birth injury cases involving complex medical scenarios.

Through my work in the claims department of a liability insurer, I have developed deep expertise in the following areas:

• Handling and settlement of medical liability claims

• Analysis of medical treatment processes and case histories

• Risk assessments and risk analyses for insurers

• Expert management and evaluation of medical reports

• Preparation of decision-ready briefs for specialist departments and senior management

• Strategic management of major loss claims, including early-warning and escalation processes

This experience enables me to structure claims processes efficiently, transparently, and cost-effectively—aligned with the internal procedures and operational frameworks of insurance companies.

As a project lawyer, I support insurers, claims departments, and medical service providers during periods of increased caseloads, complex assessment requirements, or strategic demand. Having first-hand knowledge of insurers’ internal workflows, I work quickly, methodically, and with clear priorities.

My work includes:

• Legal assessment of medical malpractice cases

• Medical and technical risk analysis

• Claims strategy and negotiation management

• Litigation preparation and decision-making support

• Coordination of medical experts and evaluators
