 | Looking at the jobs for Allstate auto field claims adjuster it says you must have dependable transportation. I know the Allstate adjusters I used to deal with drove their own vehicles around all day to write damage estimates.
Does Allstate pay you for gas and or car maintenance, wear and tear or depreciation?
Is the per mile reimbursement adequate? Does it adjust for high spikes in gas prices such as we recently experienced?

 | I am a bodily injury claims adjuster for an auto insurance company with 4 1/2 years experience. I've grown tired of the nonsense within our company. I am presently searching for jobs with other companies in all branches of claim handling. However, I'm also thinking about switching fields all together. What other career fields would my experience qualify me for if I decided to change fields? Also, does anyone recommend a good insurance field to enter?

 | I took a job as an health and life insurance agent a few months ago, and I quit after a few weeks because I absolutely hated it. I didn't like doing cold calls and I felt like the company was training me to be a liar.
I'm wondering if being a claims agent for an auto insurance company is any better? I have a four-year degree, but I don't have a license for auto insurance or anything. For those who don't want to be an insurance agent, is being a claims adjuster more of the same? Is it hard?

 | So I have a decent job right now, but its not something I plan to do for the rest of my life. Ive already been to college and got a degree in Letters, Arts, and Sciences with a focus in Arts. But ive been thinking that I would enjoy becoming a Claims Adjuster for an insurance company. I read about it online and most places say you dont need any type of degree but classes and a certificate are usually necessary. And the starting annual salary is anywhere from around $50,000 to $60,000. Does anyone have any additional information on this profession?

 | I have an idea as to what you do because I work as a workers' comp claims handler and thus, am familiar with handling one type of claims, but I want to know exactly what a day is like in the life of a property claims handler. Do you just visit the property, use an estimating software, and then start negotiating? How much time is spent at a desk entering information? Is it ever necessary to litigate the claim? How many claims do you generally handle at once?

 | I've been employed the last 18 years as an investigator with government jobs and I have a four year degree. I've been interviewing with the public sector as a claims adjuster trainee and starting salary I've been offered is $20 hourly. I understand that I am entering a new vocation, but the salary that is offered is for a college kid out of school without any experience. Is that the going rate of salary or am I interviewing with the wrong company?

| If an insurance company is asking for extra money for the driver at fault because the property damages did not cover all fees and the at fault driver does not have a job or any income what will the consequences be? (If you are bothered by this question or do not agree, please do not answer and move on thank you!)
The property damage was not high enough to cover damaged vehicle. (If you do not have a helpful answer please DO NOT answer, No Opinions please)

 | As I see it, the shop and the adjuster got together to agree on a price. Then the shop is willing to do the job for less and only takes the award from the insurance company. Is this fraud?

 | Is there a common calculation that is a rule of thumb at all with auto injury settlements? My husband and I were hit head on a few months ago and he was badly injured (in the hospital for a week). Do we take our medical bills and multiply by a certain amount at all or is that just a rumor? Any help is appreciated!
Oh, and we are working with an attorney - he just hasn't given us any kind of figure yet since we're not done with medical treatments.
