Claims & Insurance
Claim adjuster
The person who inspects the damage and prepares the carrier's estimate of the loss.
On a real claim
The claim adjuster inspects the damage and prepares the carrier's estimate of the loss. On a claim the adjuster's scope is the opening position the contractor negotiates against. What goes wrong: a contractor treats the adjuster either as an adversary or as the decision maker, when the adjuster is applying the policy and the contractor has to prove the difference with evidence. Check the adjuster's scope line by line and supplement the gaps.
