Adjusters work predominantly for Underwriters/Insurers/reinsurer and so on and are paid either on the basis of a scale fee or on a hourly rate. Assessors work for the Insured entity and normally charge a percentage of the achieved settlement, although some also charge on an hourly basis.</P><P>Assessors fees tend not to be recoverable under the insurance policy although there are some insurance schemes out there covering the cost of such claims representation on behalf of the claimant.</P><P>Hope this helps.</P><P>Sandy.Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:10:19 GMTSandy@Fulmarhttp://www.ihateinsuranceclaims.co.uk/Topic11-18-1.aspxA loss adjuster represents the Insurance Company<P>A loss assessor represents the policy holder </P><P>Brokers do not generally get involved in the claims process</P><P>See <A href="http://www.martincurraninsuranceclaims.co.uk/">www.martincurraninsuranceclaims.co.uk</A> for more informationWed, 06 Feb 2008 14:11:54 GMTAdminhttp://www.ihateinsuranceclaims.co.uk/Topic11-18-1.aspxI am unsure as well!!Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:37:55 GMTstannershttp://www.ihateinsuranceclaims.co.uk/Topic11-18-1.aspxdo you know the difference between a loss adjuster and a loss assessor and who does what in the claims processThu, 31 Jan 2008 14:11:41 GMTAdmin
