How Stressful is it to be an Insurance Adjuster?

[Q&A with licensed insurance adjuster]. In this video, I will answer questions and comments from a previous video about how stressful it is to be an insurance adjuster, and what steps you can take to make sure you don't get behind in your work. Claims can snowball real quick if you don't keep up.

Heres the first adjuster video!

In my 10 years as a Claims Adjuster, I enjoyed it, I agree at exactly 8:30am my phone rings I received call average 15-20 calls a day. Workload is eternity. 8 hours is not enough.. Now Im a senior adjuster and im handling 10 junior adjusters, I felt im in the battlefield especially when typhoon comes, .but still I love it. Stress is only tickles me, , . I consider stress as a pressure only that makes me stronger.. I learned the ability to negotiate and be persuasive. I learned to make an irate client happy after I talked to them like magic happens 😂

My Tip to starters.. Do not Panic 🤣

Imagine sitting at home, with my 2 screens, watching an adjuster, while I’m adjusting. That’s my life right now! :)

Im in my 7th year as an adjuster. It has its moments but I like being busy so it works for me.

I am in my fourth week of training as an insurance adjuster and I’m stressed every minute of the day. I only have a few claims yet I feel like there is so much to do in each one. The money is okay. I think I’m motivated by the challenge and chance for growth. I am definitely going back to school so if I stop wanting to do this, I can have options. I really respect everyone who works in this field. Bless you all!

I’m currently a licensed adjuster and I admit it is a very stressful position. It is a learning curve and challenging, especially if you don’t have any prior insurance experience. However, organization, structure, and a workload flow is key because you can get overwhelmed very quickly. You are correct about making sure that you do all that you can in one claim before moving on to the next and setting reminders are essential. My mental health can’t take it so I’m already actively looking for other positions but I salute the ones who do this role!

Being a claims adjuster is a very stressful job. It's a thin line between love and hate. Just glad I'm not the only going through it. Appreciate your vid.

I’m an injury adjuster (attorney/direct) and it truly is like you’re constantly spinning a bunch of plates on sticks trying to prevent them from falling to the ground

Hi Liz G, I have been an adjuster for over 20 years both (personal lines and commercial) and you have concisely summarised the stresses of an adjuster. Great job! I have to add that writing reports can be very challenging for some. Understanding the audience is vital.

5 years ago I walked out the back door of the last company I worked and never looked back. I imdeitaley called my state and told them deactivate or cancel my license now. I wanted to eliminate the possiblity of ever thinking about going back to that industry. That decision was the best decision of my life.

All good tips! I've been in this for about 14 years and 8 as an adjuster. This is definitely a stressful position and most people stay because of the money. Every company gives you more work than 1 person can handle until you're stressed to the max. I've done auto liability injuries and non injuries along with WC. I don't want to go back but it's really hard to apply the skillset to other industries.

Hello! So I’m working with an insurance company as a Claims specialist. So I take the accident reports and I handle claims with clear liability and no injuries. One thing that I’ve always wondered is how adjusters receive claims. Like do you get a certain amount of claims assigned to you? Like how is it that you go about seeing which claims have been assigned to you? :)

[kiibanks]

Idk if you’re still active on here but I just got my first deployment and ur videos have helped so much thank you!!! :)

[maribelcruz]

i think every job is stressful in its own way. Its how you handle it is going to determine how you react to it. Im in the sales auto agent and i enjoy it but not a sales person. Im studying now for the adjuster WFH position. so this has me second quessing this position

I've been in Claims for less than 4 months and I absolutely hate it. I didn't think it would go this way. The expectation for productivity is RIDICULOUS. I am constantly having to reduce quality to gain quantity of calls. My mental health is suffering already and I have been looking into going back to RETAIL. 😩 I really don't see this getting better for me and it's very unfortunate because the money is really good for my area but I'd rather do manual labor than deal with people after this job.

I’m currently in the hiring process and this is terrifying ngl but the pay is so fcking high for me as a 22 old even getting 3 bucks above minimum wage that I feel like it’s worth it for me to finally move out and begin my life as my own fully independent woman.

[laurens]

Just saw this although its from 2 years ago. Im a workers comp adjuster. The workload is super high. You wear a million hats. Its a tough job.

[theresaruiz-dnpe]

As a claim adjuster are the calls back-to-back like a call center? If not, on average how many calls are you taking per day? Is there a lot of overtime offered?

[Vegaschess]

My first insurance job was through a third party company called sitel. I did FNOL as an unlicensed agent for auto policies for about 2 years and I had an awful call. A woman was driving and a car going the opposite direction swerved into the woman’s lane hitting the womans car head on. It killed her and two children in the backseat. Husband called and got me and started crying as he was explaining the accident and at that moment I said I’m done with claims. I then transitioned to policy services and sales as a licensed agent. After about three years in sales/services I’m genuinely thinking about going back to claims because it felt more fulfilling.

I wish I had such a volume of work as an independent adjuster LOL. It’s so slow right now but I guess I’ll use this to rest for when it’s busy.
