An auto insurance adjuster investigates car accident claims to determine the extent of the insurance company's liability.

Familiarity with claims management software, estimating tools like CCC One or Audatex, and proficiency in using digital documentation systems are typically required. Strong negotiation, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication skills help adjusters effectively resolve claims and work with policyholders, repair shops, and other stakeholders. These skills ensure accurate claim assessments, efficient settlements, and high customer satisfaction in a compliance-driven industry.
