How to start adjusting claims | A Beginners Guide to a Claims Adjuster Career

So basically writing estimates relates to the field adjuster scope of work & file reviewing is reviewing files of desk adjusters correct

Last year I met some adjusters but one of them was a Public adjuster and we build a really good relationship and he offered me to work as his estimator… and now I have over a year experience on large losses claims and specially working on Xactimate, and few certifications like IICRC, Xactimate lvl 1,2… and currently I’m studying to take the test and get my adjuster license so I can move on and work as IA and eventually maybe as a PA

Step one: Don’t be lazy or leave it for the next day

Im so glad to have found this channel! A wealth of information. My question is can you turn down certain assignments or are these companies counting on you to accept every one they reach out to you for? And if you can and do turn some away, does that hurt your chances of being contacted regularly?

If just starting out, do you think its wiser to start by working for a company first before being independent?

can you address the change in pay for adjusters from percentage payment to fee based pay, like ryze

Matt, I’m an adjuster and also an agent. How can I advertise selling liability insurance for adjusters on your channel?

I currently do real estate appraisals. Does a lot of what I do now translate into the adjuster world?

Is there a way to do this and not screw people over?

I wish I had known this before I obtained an adjuster license and state farm certifications.

1. How to get a claims adjuster license: High School diploma
2. How to get work as a claims adjuster: Obtain a 4-year bachelor's degree in risk management and insurance.

If you don't have any type of college degree, then you have no chance of even getting hired. But you might get a chance with IA firms (even free training), but you will have to handle your own travel expenses - hotel, food, gas, etc. If you don't own a car, then good luck renting a car for about 30 days.

Edit 2/26/2023 - You can get hired also if your past jobs has any relevance to claims adjusting: sales job, police, network service helper, customer services, or any other "college" degree. If you see yourself wanting to do this in the future and you have no past job experience relevant to this field of work, then GOOD LUCK.

Also, INDEPENDENT afjuster firms hire and train new people, but you have to have your own equipment, and a presentable- work friendly vehicle is preferred. I'm not saying anyone new can't get hired, but be prepared to spend some money until you get paid your first week.

Let me know how can I get in touch with you for more help regarding independent adjusters...

When you get deployed if independent do they cover hotels and flights or mileage gas?

Good afternoon guys I got my license maybe a month ago. After applying adjuster jobs for the past couple of weeks I haven’t receive any offers yet. Please I’m open to any advice what am I doing wrong.

Do you have to have a contractor/construction background to do this?

How do I transition from a staff adjuster to an IA?

Are there only adjusters for natural disasters? What about medical and dental claims?

Wish I knew some companies to work for. It’s been hell looking to hired

I assume the search for every possible coverable item has to do with the fact that the insurance company you are working for has Re-Insurance to cover THEM. Am I right? is the Re-Insurance payback to the Insurer an actual source of REVENUE to the insurer in this situation?

My advice is do not use an adjuster

South point adjusters in Miami rob people they do not give what is owed to them to the people do not use Southpoint adjusters

Don't bring a gun to work you might use it for taste testing in the break room. 😏

Since I've started going down the "adjuster" trabbit hole, your content by far stands out as the most informative and organized content.

Hi I lost my phone but my phone have insurance apple care I dont know how i get a new phone thanks.

How can you apply to firms once you get your address or license insurance for all states Florida? If you have no experience, how do you get hired? Where can I promote myself?

You forgot to mention being on call for being an IA. That means if a serious loss happens you better be ready to get up at 2 am if the phone rings to collect the info. You also need to have a good repor with police.

60k a year?? Absolutely not. Explain how you come up with these numbers. I know adjusters that make 60 to 100k a month and only work half a year. 60k a year is Mcdonalds money.
