Insurance Terms

Claims Adjuster

An insurance company employee who investigates claims, evaluates damages, and determines how much the insurance company should pay.

In Personal Injury Cases

Remember that claims adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Their goal is often to minimize the payout. Be cautious about what you say and consider having an attorney handle communications.
