Loss Adjusters independently evaluate insurance claims, usually for an insurance company. Duties include assessing damage, identifying causes, checking policy coverage and conditions, quantifying losses, and recommending how policyholders can recover. The role can involve attending claim sites, gathering and checking evidence, interviewing policyholders, liaising with contractors, suppliers, brokers and lawyers, reviewing policies, writing reports, advising on future loss mitigation and providing evidence in court. Loss Adjusters may work in liability, property, construction, energy and engineering, claimant, business interruption or fraud investigation, across sectors including commercial, motor, marine, agriculture and petrochemicals. The role requires excellent communication, negotiation, numeracy, IT, written, research, analytical and investigative skills, good judgement, problem solving, attention to detail, independent working, integrity, confidence, empathy and calm under pressure. Travel throughout the UK and sometimes internationally is required, and a passport is vital for some roles. No specific degree or previous qualification is required, although qualifications or skills in engineering, law, surveying, accountancy or risk management are relevant. Graduate and apprenticeship schemes may be available, and professional CILA or CII qualifications are commonly pursued while in the role. Salaries typically range from £25,000 to over £100,000 depending on role, experience and seniority, with potential benefits including a company car, private medical care, pension scheme and bonuses.
