What Do Insurance Adjusters Do?

Insurance adjusters are one of the first responders to a scene where an accident or catastrophe has occurred. Their job is to evaluate the scene, assess the damages, and decide how much an insurance company should cover. In order to make a decision, adjusters will need to interview the claimants and the witnesses if there are any. This will help you piece together the situation. Then, insurance adjusters have tools that equip them for evaluating the damages and determining which damages occurred during the accident or which ones already existed.

After you have settled on an amount, you work as the middleman between the claimant and the insurance company. You communicate to the insurance company about how much should be covered.

What Skills Do You Need?

Here are a couple of skills that will qualify you for your dream insurance adjusting career.

Communication

Since you will be working as the middleman, you need to have great communication skills. This includes both written and verbal communication. You will be speaking with claimants that are going through tough times, so you need to be understanding and know how to approach the conversation. You will also be sending written reports to the insurance company, which is why verbal communication is key.

Time Management

One of the perks of working as an insurance adjuster is that you have the option to work independently. That means that you are in charge of finding your own claims and managing them all, as well as creating your own work schedule. It’s great being your own boss, but you need to have great time management skills. You have to dedicate time to meeting the claimants and assessing the damages, completing all the paperwork, processing the claims, and time for finding claims to work on. 

Adaptability

Insurance adjusters have different areas of focus to choose from. If you decide to go down the natural disaster route, you will need to drop everything you are doing and travel to the areas that have been impacted by a catastrophe. You never know when one will occur, which is why you need to be highly adaptable if you want to have claims to work on.
