Ray represents insurance carriers in large-loss property subrogation matters throughout the United States. With more than 20 years of experience, he is personally involved in every claim from the first notice of loss through amicable resolution or trial verdict, and he has secured substantial recoveries for his clients. He assists insurers in putting proper parties on notice of potential liability, selecting appropriate experts, coordinating loss-scene inspections, and making critical decisions regarding evidence removal and retention.
Ray leads a litigation team that handles hundreds of large-loss subrogation claims each year for a national property and casualty carrier, with a particular focus on products liability matters litigated in jurisdictions throughout the country.
Ray also regularly represents fire victims who have suffered substantial personal injuries, along with the families of those lost, in wrongful death and personal injury matters arising from fires and explosions. He brings the same investigative rigor to these cases that defines his subrogation practice, identifying responsible parties and developing the proofs necessary to hold them accountable.
Ray has extensive knowledge of energy delivery systems and the policies, practices, and procedures of gas and electric utilities, as well as the regulatory framework within which those entities operate. He is regularly retained to investigate and prosecute claims on behalf of property and casualty carriers against public utilities following natural gas explosions and fires caused by electric utilities, and he has secured recoveries against public utilities in more than a dozen states.
Before joining de Luca Levine, Ray represented insurers in first-party coverage matters and defended product manufacturers against claims of product defect.
