Independent adjusting can be one of the best career choices you will ever make. It gives you the freedom of most work-from-home occupations without the mundane experience of being stuck at home for 40 hours a week.

Ideally, your team of adjusters should be the best of the best, capable of balancing every claim they get and processing them on time.
