Total Loss Adjuster

As a Total Loss Adjuster, you will handle claims where coverage is resolved and the damages to a vehicle render it a total loss.  If liability is not resolved this adjuster would only handle 1st party total losses until liability is resolved. This adjuster should evaluate and settle 1st and 3rd party auto and specialty vehicle total loss claims and effectively negotiate claims to conclusion in a timely manner.  Under moderate supervision using company guidelines, this adjuster should make appropriate decisions regarding settlement and resolution of the claims assigned to them.
