Experienced property damage adjuster with a focus on claims management.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated property damage adjuster with extensive experience in the insurance industry. Over the years, I have honed my skills in assessing damages, determining liability, and ensuring compliance with insurance policies. My journey began as a PIP/Lit Adjuster, where I developed a strong foundation in handling complex claims and conducting sworn statements. This role paved the way for my subsequent positions, where I further refined my negotiation skills and gained a deeper understanding of the claims process.
At United Auto Insurance Company, I currently serve as a Property Damage Adjuster, where I am responsible for obtaining recorded statements, reviewing estimates, and requesting payments once coverage is cleared. My previous experience as a Claims Representative and EUO Examiner has equipped me with the ability to conduct thorough examinations under oath and negotiate settlements effectively. I take pride in my ability to train new hires and create audit materials, contributing to the overall efficiency of the claims department.
