What must an adjuster do to ensure compliance with industry standards?

Staying updated on laws, regulations, and practices is essential for an adjuster to ensure compliance with industry standards. This commitment involves continuous learning and awareness of changes in legal requirements, industry norms, and emerging best practices. To effectively manage claims and represent clients or insurers appropriately, adjusters must be well-informed about current developments within the industry. This knowledge not only helps them make sound decisions but also protects them legally and ethically, ensuring that their actions align with the expectations of regulators and the overall integrity of the insurance field.

Following only employer instructions, focusing solely on personal development, or delegating compliance tasks do not provide the comprehensive understanding and vigilance required for the ever-evolving insurance landscape. An adjuster’s role is multifaceted and demands proactive engagement with the latest information and guidelines to uphold the profession's standards.
