Richard Gerber practices exclusively in the field of large loss subrogation, handling large property subrogation cases involving product liability, negligence, fire, explosions, water and construction losses. His considerable experience in subrogation has resulted in jury verdicts and settlements for  millions of dollars on behalf of his clients. With his expertise devoted exclusively to subrogation, Mr. Gerber's efforts have contributed to Brown & James being one of the premier subrogation practices in the country.

Throughout his career, Mr. Gerber has assembled a network of subrogation experts to provide a “rapid response” team for large property losses involving fires and other catastrophic losses and he has personally attended hundreds of initial fire scene inspections to assure his cases are built properly from inception through trial.
