What Is An Adjuster In Auto Insurance? 
With regard to automobile insurance , there are two most common types of ` Adjusters ' . A major distinction is that one handles the various aspects of a particular claim , usually without ever seeing the vehicle in person , while the other type of Adjuster is responsible for actually looking at the vehicles or vehicles and assessing the damage amounts . The latter is often also referred to as an appraiser . But they are ` adjusting ' the loss . The former would typically assign the appraiser -LRB- outside adjuster -RRB- to look at the vehicles or vehicles . The outside adjuster might also view the accident site and determine a theory of liability and advise the ` inside adjuster ' . There are variations but these two types of ` adjusters ' are most often encountered in claims situations .
