Can I work from home as a claims adjuster?

Yes, you can work from home as a claims adjuster, especially as inside adjuster, desk adjuster, or remote independent adjuster handling auto and small property claims by phone, photos, and estimating software, which has become more common after pandemic. Many large insurers like Progressive, State Farm, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual offer remote claims adjuster positions where you work from home handling claims virtually, using computer and phone, reviewing photos, estimates, and documents, similar to managing storage inventory remotely. Independent adjusting firms also offer work-from-home for file review and estimating. However, field adjusters who inspect damage in person, like property adjusters inspecting roof damage or storage unit fire, cannot fully work from home as they need to travel to loss sites, though they may do paperwork from home. Catastrophe adjusters travel extensively and cannot work from home during deployments. To work from home as claims adjuster, you need licensing, computer, high-speed internet, and skills in Xactimate or similar software, and quiet workspace. Entry-level remote positions exist but often require some experience first. Benefits of work-from-home adjusting include flexibility, no commute, and better work-life balance, but also require self-discipline and handling upset claimants by phone. So yes, remote claims adjusting is viable career, especially for inside auto and property claims.
