For policyholdersBefore the inspection.
A little preparation helps your adjuster understand what happened.
- Have your claim number and carrier information available.
- Gather photos taken near the time of the loss.
- Keep receipts and records of work already completed.
- List the areas of concern and questions you want to discuss.
- Let your adjuster know about access needs or known hazards.
Understanding the processYour adjuster’s role.
An independent adjuster inspects and documents the loss on behalf of the assigning carrier. The inspection helps the carrier evaluate the claim.
Your carrier determines coverage and payment under the applicable policy. Your adjuster can help identify the right person for questions about those decisions.
