When Helene was bearing down on the Florida coast, before it wreaked havoc in Georgia and North Carolina, before Americans in her path incurred billions of dollars in damages, before lives were lost and property destroyed, the Adjust U phone started ringing off the hook. People who had been thinking about becoming an adjuster but kept delaying the decision to do so were suddenly urgent.
“How do I get my adjuster license?”
“If I get my license, will I be able to get work?”
Helene did her damage; days later, Hurricane Milton did his thing. Mid-America Catastrophe Services, our sister company, deployed over 750 adjusters to answer the call for help from our partners. At this writing, more than half of them are still working the storms. Some will do so for months or more.
Meanwhile, the Adjust U phone kept ringing, and people inquired how to get in on the action. Work was everywhere, but they were too late to get any of it.
The need is great and resources are strained. Inexperienced adjusters get their chance to shine. Pitched into the deep end, they sink or swim.
Hurricanes launch more independent adjuster careers than any other event or circumstance.
Hurricanes don’t launch every adjuster’s career. Many find their first work on hailstorms, freezes, tornados, flash floods, and other assorted storms. Some begin by doing daily work, adjusting claims not linked to a storm.
The fact remains that hurricanes produce the most widespread damage and thus require tremendous human resources to address the needs of those who suffer loss. Like soldiers marching into battle, adjusters deploy to storms.
The time to prepare for an opportunity is before the opportunity arises.
Doctors do not rush out and grab a license because a pandemic occurs. Before the problem happens, they spend years preparing to meet the need. Pilots don’t grab a license after the plane is in the air. You don’t want an untrained doctor evaluating your affliction. You don’t want a novice navigating the atmosphere in a 747 flying 30,000 feet above the earth with your family on board.
Just so, no one wants to open their door to an unprepared adjuster when a storm wrecks their property, disrupts their lives, and frays their nerves. They expect and deserve a well-qualified, trained professional to assess their damages, address their loss, and adjust their claim to the insurance policy.
