There are a lot of products available that come with insurance. Everything from the large items such as cars and houses through to smaller items that are counted in property claims are things that are potentially covered by insurance. It is the role of the insurance adjuster to make sure that these claims are accurate and fair.

Sadly this means that the job can sometimes be stressful. Anyone wanting to take a job in this area has to be prepared to say no to people and to deal solely with the facts of a claim. This means having to talk to people and tell them whether or not they are able to get money from a claim and if so how much.

These claims can vary wildly. For example a company may want to find out how seriously someone was injured in a car crash and therefore what level of compensation they are entitled to. This is obviously a very stressful time so any adjuster has to be careful while interviewing people to find out about what happened and what compensation people could be entitled to.

The job is very analytical. It involves a lot of work interviewing people in order to find out what has occurred and where the fault potentially lies in any particular claim. They will also often have to check legal documents in order to make sure they have been accurately filled in.

Generally they will be university educated at the bachelor degree level. When employed by an insurer they will usually be trained in house to reach the standard required. It often helps if the adjuster has experience in specific fields such as factory work so that they can be aware of the potential risks involved in the industry in question.

A good thing about the role of the insurance adjuster is that it is often interesting with a wide variety of claims and people to interact with. Unfortunately the hours are often anti social as they need to be ready to work with clients during times that are convenient for them and often have to react at short notice in the event of a disaster.
