What this job is
Loss Adjusters assess insurance claims after events such as fires, floods, accidents, or theft. They visit damaged sites, gather evidence, interview witnesses, review policy documents, and prepare detailed reports for insurers. The goal is to reach a fair and accurate settlement figure based on the facts of each case. Some Loss Adjusters specialise in property, others in liability, marine, or commercial claims. The work is largely independent, and strong written communication is central to the role.
