Insurance Adjusters and Examiners

Insurance adjusters and examiners decide how much to pay on insurance claims.

When policyholders file claims, adjusters first determine whether customers' insurance policies cover the loss. Then they estimate the amount of the loss.

Insurance Adjusters and Examiners are in the Finance career cluster and the Insurance pathway.
