How to live the Adjuster's Life ~ from resume to payday


 My wife and I live a life of endless summers. We spend winters in Florida and summers on a lake in Minnesota. When asked where we live we say, Florisota.

No—we’re not retired. We’re insurance adjusters.

If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. “How do I get a job like yours?”

This book is my answer.

But not only how to get the job, but how to keep it, enjoy it and make a good living at it. 

Adjuster's Life is written from raw sweaty years of one-on-one training.

I enjoyed personally training for many years. But, before long more people wanted training than we could fit in our F250.

Somewhere along the line I heard, “You oughta write a book.”

And so, here you are.

To keep it simple this book reads like a novel. I start at the beginning—like you just jumped in the truck—and we ride through a storm from resume to payday.

But…there’s more.

Great book....thanks for easing the anxiety of heading into the field, have done a zone deployment but waiting for that big one like everyone else, after reading this book, which by the way I read from front to back without putting it down! and taking in your many useful tips and years of knowledge I'm more excited than ever to get out there and ADJUST! I'd recommend this power house to anyone interested in the field of adjusting.

This well written, fun to read and informative book offers a great value to the aspiring adjuster. Like any field one enters there is nomenclature, organization styles and traditions that dictate how one works professionally in that field ie. - 'When in Rome do as the Romans do'. Mr. Spurling has done a terrific job in presenting a good overview of adjusting life, day to day operations and provides excellent links to important industry sites, forums and tools used by the seasoned pro's. I'm happy to have found this book before I got too far along in the process as it is a true 'help guide' to further my career as a CAT adjuster. Thanks!

This book is fun to read and easy to follow. The author has a great sense of humor and makes learning about being an adjuster fun and entertaining. I was concerned about being able to stay organized when there is a disaster and hundreds of claims all at once, and now I have an action plan that makes sense and is achievable. Thank you Douglas Spurling!!

Adjuster Courses


New and experienced adjusters seeking the necessary knowledge and skill to adjust claims for the NFIP will find NFIP Claims Review for Adjusters, formerly a 7-hour classroom presentation, essential for adjusting NFIP claims. This course defines the role, standards, and necessary requirements to adjust claims within the NFIP. In addition, it offers an overview of the Standard Flood Insurance Policy through a step-by-step outline of the similarities and contrasts found in the Dwelling Form, General Property Form, and the Residential Condominium Building Association Policy. With a focus on providing excellent customer service, this course also identifies common errors and adjustment issues where special attention is needed to ensure a high level of quality in the claims settlement process.

Adjusters are among the first responders to interact with policyholders after a flood and therefore play a critical role in representing the NFIP. Due to the traumatic nature of a flooding event, adjusters must create and maintain a customer-centric focus during each interaction with the policyholder. Adjuster Customer Service provides guidance on using empathy, sincerity, friendliness, and other skills to communicate effectively with policyholders. The course reviews the attributes of excellent customer service and aids the adjuster in building positive rapport with each policyholder.

NFIP flood losses and loss settlements are particularly specialized. To adjust NFIP claims, a flood adjuster must be qualified and must complete the process of becoming an NFIP certified adjuster. NFIP adjusters achieve levels of authority based on flood adjusting experience and knowledge of the Program. Introduction to Flood Claims provides an overview of adjusting NFIP claims and reviews the NFIP Standard Flood Insurance Policy.

Due to coverage limitations, adjusting claims in buildings with basements can be challenging. Understanding Basement Coverage reviews key characteristics of basement buildings and discusses covered and non-covered building and personal property items located in basement buildings. The course concludes with a review of special adjustment issues.

Introduction to Commercial Claims reviews the General Property Form as it relates to both small and large commercial claims, and provides a review of certification requirements, adjuster authority, documentation requirements, and adjustment standards and requirements. Knowledge in each of these areas is fundamental to meeting Program requirements for flood adjusters. The course presents two case studies that reflect real world flood adjusting experiences and challenge the learner to apply flood adjusting concepts involving policy limits, reserve estimating, and coverage restrictions.
