An insurance adjuster or claim adjuster is a person whose job is to investigate claims submitted by a policyholder in order to determine how much an insurance company should pay as compensation to the insured whenever there is a loss or damage. He is an intermediary between an insurance company and the insured.

An insurance adjuster performs the following functions

1. He verifies the insurance policy bought by the insured to assess its coverage.
2. He thoroughly investigates claims submitted by the insured and files them for compensation.
3. He knows whether there is coverage for a claim or not.
4. He takes part in the assessment of damages and losses to the properties of the insured.
5. He negotiates between the insurer and the insured.

This assurance adjuster sounds like a middle-man which happens to be a lawyer because for someone to have the access to validate a particular contract, such person must know very much about laws and documents. It really sound like this assurance adjuster is the main body in making an insurance contract

Judging from the analysis, I think the main function of an insurance adjuster is that he verifies the insurance policy bought by the client because any job that involves verification is an important job, if any issue should arise concerning confirmation of documents, the insurance adjuster will be the first to be held responsible

It's the insurance adjuster’s responsibility to inspect all damage and then come to a reasonable estimate that honours the insurance company's duties outlined in your policy, while also making fiscally responsible decisions. Better to complete your own walkthrough and ensure things do not get missed, before your insurance adjuster arrives onsite.

I can see that many people were talking about the risk adjuster. A risk adjuster to me is not an intermediary but it can be one of the department within the same insurance company .
They are responsible to look at the risk about to cover by the insurance may be I will be viable or not. They also examine any accident that might have occur thoroughly before any compensation is awarded.

I learnt something new today. So it means the investigatory part of insurance is not handled by the insurance company but a neutral body. I think this is better in order to ensure that there is no partiality while carrying out the investigation. Although some people argue that the that they are hired by the insurance company.
