Day-to-day operating brief

What Claims Adjuster work looks like in practice

A Claims Adjuster investigates and evaluates insurance claims, often coordinating experts, repairers or legal advisers. Terms should define claim types, policy interpretation boundaries, site visits, evidence, liability, quantum, reserves, negotiation, settlement limits, fraud indicators, vulnerable customers, supplier instructions, expenses and record standards that distinguish verified facts from assumptions. The assessment should separate policy coverage, factual causation, reasonable scope of repair and current valuation because each can change independently. Photographs and expert reports need clear dates and provenance. Where mitigation work is urgent, the adjuster should state what is authorised, what remains disputed and who carries responsibility for ongoing site safety. Reserve changes should connect new evidence to likely cost rather than merely track the latest supplier quotation. Statements and photographs must be stored without misleading editing, and conflicting accounts should remain present for the authorised decision-maker rather than being reduced to one preferred narrative.
