Claims Adjusting

Individuals and businesses purchase insurance policies to protect against monetary losses. In the event of a loss, policyholders submit claims or requests for payment, seeking compensation for their loss. Adjusters, appraisers, examiners, and investigators deal with those claims. Their main role is to:

Investigate Claims

Negotiate Settlements

Authorize Payments to the Policyholder

Investigate

By interviewing the policyholder and inspecting property damage the adjuster can determine how much money the company should pay for the loss.

Evaluate

The information gathered—including photographs and statements, either written, or recorded audio or video—is set down in a report that is then used to evaluate the claim.

Settle

When the policyholder’s claim is approved, the claims adjuster negotiates with the policyholder and settles the claim.

Catastrophe Adjusters

Catastrophe Adjusters or CAT Adjusters are a particular breed of insurance adjuster.

They typically work six to nine months a year from March to November throughout the storm season.

They assess damages in a particular area and then move on to the next storm location.

They work long hours and usually 7 days a week throughout the season.

A catastrophe adjuster can easily gross $100,000.00 or more in a season.

For decades the CAT industry has been a fairly closed “good ole boy” network where a CAT adjuster may train his friends or family and helps bring them into the business. Rarely does someone see a catastrophe on TV and think they want to go there and make money. It is for this reason that Veteran Adjusting School was created.

Our mission is to help provide the best trained adjusters in the industry.
