A claims adjuster is a professional who evaluates insurance claims to determine the extent of an insurance company's liability. They investigate the details of a claim, which may involve inspecting property damage, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing police reports. Their goal is to ensure that claims are handled fairly and in accordance with the terms of the insurance policy. Once the investigation is complete, the claims adjuster prepares a report and recommends a settlement amount. They play a crucial role in the insurance process, helping both the insurance company and the policyholder reach a resolution. This position often requires strong analytical skills and knowledge of insurance policies.
