What is a damage assessor?

Career: Damage Assessor

The duties of a damage assessor involve working to inspect properties and estimate the cost of repair. As a storm damage assessor, for example, you travel to a region after a weather-related disaster and examine the building or home of an insurance client to assess the damage caused by a storm. In this career, your responsibilities could include interviewing the owner of the property and investigating their possessions to find out if the disaster in question caused the damage. Some insurance companies call damage assessors "claims adjusters."
