Massachusetts Insurance Adjuster Licensing Requirements

If you are looking for work in the insurance industry that is potentially lucrative and does not require you to sell insurance, you may find an insurance claims adjuster to be an ideal position. Insurance claims adjusters have specific skills and knowledge that both insurance companies and private individuals looking to establish the value of their claims need.

What Is An Insurance Claims Adjuster?

An insurance claims adjuster is the individual that the insurance company sends to the scene of the event that triggered a claim to determine the veracity and value of said claim. As an insurance claims adjuster, you interview those who witnessed the event as well as the claimant, examine the scene and do whatever else is required to assess the value of the claim under the claimant's policy.
