We are quickly approaching hail season so today I’m going to talk to you about the independent adjusting companies you should be onboarding with, so you have a shot at getting work this hail season.

While hailstorms don’t grab the mainstream headlines like a major hurricane, independent adjusters and auto damage appraisers often get more work opportunities from hailstorms, more consistently, than hurricanes.

To get that work you’ve got to be on the right rosters. 

Not all rosters are created equal and there are several types of rosters you’ll want to be on if you want the best shot at having dimes, nickels, and quarters raining into your bank account. The wrong ones will leave you at home or at worst holding the bag by not paying you.

During my 13 years as an independent appraiser and adjuster I focused 6 of them on just working hail claims during the hail season. I was on the first call list of several rosters and I worked the majority of the hail season. I’ve handled hail claims for 15+ different independent adjusting and appraisal companies and mentored thousands of independent adjusters and appraisers as they dove into the world of catastrophic adjusting.

Let’s look at what you need to know to get ready for this hail season.

Auto liability claims are a great way to get additional work and deployments as an independent adjuster.

In this podcast, Chris Stanley walks you through how to complete an auto liability claim as an independent adjuster step by step.

Most of us don’t understand liability claims. As a result, we miss out on great work opportunities as independent adjusters. We understand auto damage, a car has damage, or property claims, a tree lands on a house, but what is a liability claim?
