What’s Claims Resolution?
Property/casualty claims resolution, or claims adjusting, is a fascinating field for people who enjoy helping others, investigating, and learning. Claims resolution professionals can work in a variety of fields and often have the opportunity to explore careers in multiple fields.
They can manage these types of
claims:
Auto

Property
Workers’ Compensation
Professional Liability
Transportation
Cyber Liability
And many others
Claims Professionals work for the insurance company and help resolve the claims of the insured and/or injured parties. Resolving those claims often involves investigation — how extensive is the damage, where did the accident/injury occur, who is at fault, and what are the damages. After gathering the facts, the claims professional makes sure that the insured or injured party is “made
whole again” and that their damages are covered appropriately.
In resolving claims, the professional helps the person recover from the loss.
