NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors in AmTrust Financial Services, Inc.

AmTrust investors can contact Tripp Levy PLLC at 800-511-7037 or contact@tripplevy.com for more information.

Before the market opened on February 27, 2017, AmTrust reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, which included a 43% decline in its fourth quarter net income, compared to the same period a year earlier.  Significantly, AmTrust disclosed that the decrease in the net income was due to "a reserve charge of $65 million, or approximately $0.24 per diluted shares, primarily related to strengthening of prior year loss and loss adjustment reserves in our Specialty Program segment."
