Position Overview

This is a true field role covering the Austin and San Antonio markets as well as some travel to South and West Texas as needed. You'll work from home and operate out of your vehicle, meeting claimants in person on the day of the accident. Your goal is to build rapport quickly, evaluate the injury claim, and negotiate a fair settlement on the spot, while also writing the damage estimate on the vehicle.

The caseload is manageable at roughly 4–5 field assignments per week, giving you time to work each claim thoroughly and resolve it at first contact.

• Gather supporting documentation, including police reports, medical bills, and Medicare reporting information
• Recognize fraud indicators and refer to SIU when appropriate
• Keep claim files accurate, timely, and complete

Required Qualifications

• Strong, proven bodily injury claims experience, ideally including face-to-face negotiation and settlement
• Experience as a field or outside adjuster with a carrier or independent adjusting firm
• Texas adjuster license (or ability to obtain quickly)
• Confident negotiator with excellent people skills and the ability to build trust in stressful situations
• Self-motivated and organized, comfortable working independently from home and in the field
• Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable vehicle
• Comfortable using a laptop, mobile devices, and claims software
