The First 6 Items Adjusters Look at When Receiving a New Claim

Thursday, August 11th, 2011 Workers' Compensation

Workers Compensation Adjusters get new claims every day. Most days they receive many claims, depending on the type of adjuster they are. For the most part, medical-only adjusters and lost-time adjusters receive the most new claims per day. Good adjusters can tell if a claim is going to be trouble right away. They base this on several criteria, including: Type of injury, if the worker is still working or off-work, date of birth, hire date for that employer, the city the worker lives in, and additional comments made by the insured calling the claim in.
