The Cincinnati Insurance Cos. Names New Manager of Field Claims Operations

The Cincinnati Insurance Companies announced that Charles Stoneburner has been appointed manager of field claims, effective immediately.

In this position, he will lead the Field Claims department, which continues as a division of Operations reporting to Senior Vice President Timothy Timmel. Field Claims operates through a 750-strong force of field claims representatives who respond to policyholder claims in communities across 31 states.

Stoneburner continues to serve as assistant vice president of The Cincinnati Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, The Cincinnati Casualty Company and The Cincinnati Indemnity Company, which together form the company’s property casualty group.

Stoneburner’s recent responsibilities as regional manager in the Headquarters Claims department have included supervising property claims. He advanced through the ranks, serving as field claims manager for southwestern Virginia before joining the Headquarters Claims department in 1990.

His predecessor, Senior Vice President Dean Dicke, retired this month after 35 years with the company and 15 years managing the Field Claims department.
