I'm surprised that some were not killed after the Katrina debacle. The f'n hillbillies were up in arms, literally.

Could you please provide the phonetical spelling? I've never heard this particular derision. Maybe it's 'cause I'm not an insurance adjuster??

Dont know why people hate adjusters....especially in catastrophes. Most are independants that move on the request of the insurance companies. Adjusters make more money based on the damage. More damage, more money in their pockets. They have no reason to be anything but truthful.


I know it is different for people that work for companies...they are paid to keep the damage assessment minimal.

exactly. They companies tell you that there are 40 claims in a given area. You go in and assess damage. File your report, collect your check. No contact with the insurance companies. Like I said, the more damage, the bigger the check.

Seattle,

Cat adjusters usually don't have to monkey with deciding who gets money. There are inside adjusters at the insurance companies who take the loss reports from the field adjusters and determine whether the policy is triggered.

my sister is actually moving to florida this week to work for Pilot CAT for 2 years....both her and her husband

she worked for them last year, go to their website and you can apply

insurance companies want to pay what they owe, because its cheaper to settle a claim they owe rather than have to defend their actions in court......if they think there is a coverage issue, they'll milk it till its resolved

you can make some coin doing that, but you'll work 7 days a week
