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.
