What is a bodily injury adjuster?

Despite what one may think, a bodily injury adjuster does not adjust bodily injuries. Rather, as a bodily injury adjuster, you manage, investigate, and resolve the injury portion of an insurance claim. You read insurance policies, verify coverage, contact all parties associated with the claim, interview clients, speak with witnesses, gather, and audit medical bills and other details on the treatment needed of those injured in an accident. Your responsibilities also include determining liability and negotiating with customers and other insurance carriers. Some positions require you to attend trials and hearings, and you prepare reports summarizing the results. Other duties include keeping the financial processing of claims secure, updating files, and providing reports as requested.
