Claims Adjuster (Insurance)

Person who, on behalf of an insurance company, investigates the circumstances of the claims declared by the insured (fire, theft, accident, material loss, etc.). She verifies their declaration, calculates the sum of the losses or damages covered by their policy and negotiates the amount of compensation that the company must pay them. She strives to be tactful in its investigation of victims and witnesses, to fairly and equitably assess the loss and damage suffered and to detect cases of fraud.
