If I was a new adjuster who has worked very little. 5600 6
Started by Ray Hall
I think about 90 of cat. adjusters claims are wind/hail losses. This is the time to practice at home on estimatics. (writing estimates in a program). When you get on the storm site it,s too late to learn. 2011 seems to be a good year for large damaging hail. Be ready you may get your first shot and when you get your first 30 files, you must close one or two on the first day. From a dead stop to wide open....welcome.

Arriving at a disaster zone 9713 20
Started by ryoungblood
OK, I am new to adjusting. I know that to be succesful at this I will have to work hard, be thorough, and be as prepared as possible before 'the call'.
I know that the way most people get into adjusting is through a major hurricane, and that the ones who succeed do it because of preparation, accuracy, and hard work. One thing that I can see that would throw a person off is misunderstanding what to expect when you get there. Once you arrive to the orientation, what do you need to know about sett...
