An insurance claims adjuster is hired by an insurance company, independent insurance adjusting agency or the policy holder to settle property and casualty damages or loss. A good example of property and casualty claims adjusting would be hurricane Catrina. Thousands of homes, cars, and valuables were damaged and lost. In order to help home insurance policy holders rebuild their homes, insurance companies send in the insurance claims adjusters to settle how much damage occurred and decide how much money will be required by a policy holder to cover the damages. Many times insurance companies prefer to contract independent insurance adjusters to ward off any suspicions that the insurance company may have a hand in having the adjuster estimate the loss to be a lot less than it actually might be. If the settlement leads to a dispute, a policy holder may hire a private insurance adjuster to re-evaluate the initial claims assessment done by an independent insurance adjuster or one who is an employee of the policy holders insurance company.
