Insurance Adjuster As A Career And What They Do

By Shawn Hunter


Insurance processes can be quite tricky and overdrawn this especially when seeking compensation after a loss. The claims making process by the insured after a loss has been known to be painstakingly slow even back here in Shelby. Our lovely township. But for these process as well, we have professionals that can help you seek compensation. They are trained as Insurance Adjuster dealing with claims on the insured behalf to get the best possible claim amounts is part of their job description.

There are quite a number of adjusters specializing in the many different fields of insurance including Auto, bodily injury, property, medical etc. Each is well equipped to handle the many needs of the insurance category. For instance an auto adjuster will learn driving rules as well as all the components of a vehicle. This comes in handy when figuring out whose fault an accident was and how much of a claim is due. Therefore an adjuster must be well informed nay educated on the insurance field he decides to pursue.

The main duties of cover adjusters revolve around insurance claims. As these involve many processes and steps, the adjusters duties can be split into a number of core functions. When approached by a new client seeking help with her insurance claim, the adjuster will do a number of Activities.

These will start off with the investigations. The expert carries this out to find out all the information relating to your cover claim and if you are eligible for a claim and how much the claim should be. To do this the adjuster will visit the accident scene and try to determine the cause of the accident and whether it was covered. To this end he/she might ask a questions to those involved in the accident, take photos etc.

Then after assessing that the loss is indeed covered in the cover contract, he will move to the next step. This being the negotiations. The intention here is to get as much in claims as possible. They will be motivated to do this by the fact that they are paid on commission arising from the amount you will be paid after making the claim. As such, adjusters must be super negotiators.

Empathy, competence and creativity are among the greatest qualities adjusters needs to be successful at their job. They need to empathize with the clients for their loss even as they explain to them their cover contract provisions. With training and the right qualifications, plus experience, these qualities become engrained in the adjustor.

And they can work for the other team as well. This when employed by the insurance company. After occurrence of a loss, these adjustors will carry out the same activities done on making a claim only this time they will have the insurers best interests at heart. A public adjustor evens this out by representing your best interests and ensuring they are heard during negotiations. This so as to get you a fair compensation and in the least time.

As seen, from their full scope of duties, we need not perceive adjusters as bad people as has been the case previously. A big reason for this being that those we encountered were normally representing insurance companies. In fact, when working for us, they can use this evil to do us good.
