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 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?
