Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Adjuster?
An adjuster is an person employed by a property and casualty insurance company (or an individual) to settle claims on its/their behalf brought by an insured individual or company. The adjuster evaluates the merits of each claim and makes recommendations to the insurance company. In fact, an adjuster is one who investigates insurance claims or claims for damages and recommends an effective settlement.
How much do insurance adjusters get paid?
Working as an independent claims adjuster, how much you get paid depends largely upon how much & how hard you are willing to work. An independent adjuster will typically be paid on a per claim basis with the amount paid being a relative percentage of the settlement amount..An independent adjuster can expect, if working hurricane claims, to make an average of $400 per claim he or she settles. As an independent contractor, an independent adjuster determines their own schedule, but an industrious and effective insurance adjuster should be able to "close" between 3 and 5 claims per day. Thus, a good claims adjuster can easily make over $1,000 a day while working catastrophe claims.
