Insurance Investigator

Highly relevant tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Examining scenes of incidents resulting in insurance claims to determine causes and effects.
• Interviewing witnesses and claimants to obtain details required to assess the validity of claims and identify the parties responsible for accidents, damage and loss, and preparing statements and reports.
• Inspecting damaged buildings, equipment and motor vehicles and estimating the cost of repairs.

Insurance Investigators have the ability to understand and apply legislation and principles relevant to the investigation of insurance claims. An insurance claims investigator’s primary responsibility is to verify that an insurance claim submitted by a client is valid. They usually work for insurance companies or specialist firms.
