A claims professional who investigates insurance claims and determines the insurer's payment obligations.
What insurance adjusters do
Insurance adjusters investigate claims from accidents, storms, fires, theft, and liability events. They interview claimants and witnesses, inspect damage, review medical or repair records, negotiate settlements, and document the basis for payment decisions.
Training path
A bachelor’s degree in finance, business, or a related field is common, but the central credential is a state adjuster license. Specialty designations such as AIC, CPCU, or SCLA mark experienced practitioners.
Work setting
Carriers like State Farm, Allstate, Geico, and Liberty Mutual employ many in-house adjusters. Independent adjusters work on contract through firms like Crawford and Sedgwick, often traveling to disaster zones after major catastrophes.
