Insurance Adjuster And What They Are Paid To 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.

First of they will investigate the nature of the loss. This so as to establish the cause of it and whether it was covered by the cover contract. This will determine if compensation is due to you and how much you should be paid. To get answers to these questions, they might decide to ask witnesses a few questions or even experts. Taking photos and visiting the site where the loss occurred is also a possibility.

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.

To make a good cover adjuster, a few of the qualities and values you must portray include, empathy, competence and creativity. These help out a lot in negotiations as you are able to explain the details of a contract to clients while at the same time relate to them for their loss. An expert with the necessary training and qualifications will have these. An experience one will be super at his job.

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.
