Which type of adjuster processes a large volume of claims that do not require inspecting...

A telephone adjuster handles a high volume of claims that can be managed without attending the loss location or physically inspecting damage. These claims are usually lower complexity, documentation-driven, and suitable for phone-based investigation, coverage confirmation, estimate review, and settlement discussion. The role is efficient for straightforward claims where photographs, repair invoices, police reports, receipts, or electronic documents provide enough evidence for evaluation. “Remote adjuster” may sound plausible in modern terminology, but the standard claims role described in the course context is telephone adjuster. A service adjuster generally refers to a claims professional who may provide direct field service or broader claims assistance. An account adjuster is not the best match for a high-volume, no-inspection claims role. The key distinction is method of handling: telephone-based claim processing rather than field inspection. Brokers should understand adjuster roles so they can set client expectations about who will contact them and why some claims do not require an in-person visit.
