How To Become A Tennessee Insurance Adjuster

Excited about being in the insurance business in Tennessee, but worried that a career as an insurance broker is not the right fit? Consider becoming an insurance claims adjuster. These in-demand professionals investigate claims and gather information for the insurance company to decide if and how they should pay a claim.

What Does An Tennessee Claims Adjuster Do?

A Tennessee Insurance Adjuster inspects property damage or personal injury claims in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Jackson, Madison, Johnson City, and other cities to determine how much the insurance company should pay for the loss. They might inspect a home, a business, or a vehicle to determine how much the insurance company should pay out.

Though the process for reviewing a home versus a car claim may very somewhat, to determine the amount of payout, an Adjuster might interview the claimant and/or witnesses, inspect the damaged property, do additional research such as look at photos, police reports, or doctor/hospital records, evaluate damage, ascertain payout amount, and communicate with the insurance agent and/or client. A typical adjuster will:

• Verify an insurance policy exists for the insured person and/or property
• Identify coverages for which the insured is covered
• Evaluate the covered injuries and/or damages
• Complete applicable paperwork
• Negotiate a settlement according to the applicable laws
