What is the difference between an adjuster and an appraiser?
An adjuster represents you, the insurer, with respect to the settlement of your claim. An adjuster can be an employee of the insurance company or an independent adjuster hired by the insurance company. Your insurance company may assign an appraiser to review the damages to your vehicle. An appraiser is trained in determining the value of damages. In many cases we are authorized to appraise your vehicle for the insurance company.
