Staff Adjuster
An employee adjuster who handles claims solely for one insurance company.
Staff adjusters follow carrier guidelines, reserving authority, and desk or field roles. They may be exempt from individual adjuster licensing in some states when adjusting only for their employer.
Examples
A staff auto adjuster inspects fender-benders for Company X only and uses internal estimating software.
Common Misconceptions
Insureds expect staff adjusters to be neutral — they represent the contract obligations of the insurer.
