RSD Insurance Services, Inc. expands their Risk Management Department by hiring Ryan Daugherty, JD

Aug. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- (Stockton, CA) RSD Insurance Services, Inc. announces the expansion of their Risk Management Department with the hiring of Ryan Daugherty, JD. This move solidifies RSD’s dedication toward providing superior service and creative insurance plans for its client’s individual needs.

Ryan Daugherty will work with Director of Risk of Management, Jon Challoner. “Jon has incredible knowledge of the risk management field, and Ryan’s legal background will compliment Jon’s extensive real world experience,” said CEO and President Scott Daugherty.  Mr. Challoner has over 40 years in the risk management field and has worked extensively to control costs, manage claims, limit litigation and implement programs to better serve the client.

Risk management is a phrase often used in the insurance industry, yet rarely understood.  However, RSD’s Risk Management Department capitalizes on Mr. Challoner’s unparalleled expertise to speak candidly with clients about the cost of risk. RSD strives to partner with its clients to better understand the client’s business. This partnership enhances the ability of RSD to offer creative and cost effective insurance plans.  

The RSD Risk Management Department provides analysis of client’s claims or losses, evaluations of client’s current safety programs, OSHA compliance, employee benefits and can create an actuary forecast to project growth and limit risk.  The focus of the Risk Management Department has expanded over the last few years.  No longer satisfied with merely managing the cost of risk, RSD helps clients turn their insurance premium into an asset with creative risk share programs.

CEO & President Scott Daugherty recognizes that the Risk Management Department is a vital component of the consultative services that RSD provides to its clients.  “Our policy is to help our clients manage their risk, control their costs and avoid litigation. Risk management is essential to everything we do from complicated wrap insurance (OCIP / CCIP) to helping our clients better understand the proper limits of a general liability policy. Risk management is the key. The addition of Ryan to our Risk Management Department will help our clients."

Ryan Daugherty graduated from the University of Pacific and began his career in San Diego as an insurance broker where he was dual licensed, holding Property & Casualty and Life & Health designations.  He went on to receive his Juris Doctorate from Lincoln Law School of Sacramento, where he was Student Bar Association President and Co-Editor of the student publication, the Voir Dire.
