Insurance Claims Representatives

Inside adjusters work in offices, as do clerks and examiners. They work 40 hours a week and occasionally travel. They may work additional hours during peak claim periods or when quarterly or annual reports are due. Outside claims adjusters may travel extensively—sometimes hundreds of miles to different states to handle a claim. An adjuster may also be required to be on call 24 hours a day. Appraisers and investigators are more likely to work outside, conducting surveillance and inspecting damaged vehicles and buildings.
