Claims Adjuster 2026 Expert
Verifed Ace the Test



Adjusters Authority - ANSWER ✔✔An agent's authority can bind.


● What the agent says or does can bind the insurer


Agent's Responsibilities - ANSWER ✔✔1. Adhere to or follow the

contract

2. Use reasonable judgment and care at all times

3. Provide all necessary information and documentation to the insurer


Express Authority - ANSWER ✔✔Authority that is directly granted to

the agent in writing via the agent's contract

,Agents usually have express authority to:

● Sell policies

● Collect premiums

● Issue binders

● Offer discounts (such as multi-policy discounts)

● Cancel insurance


Implied Authority - ANSWER ✔✔Reasonable for public to believe, not

expressly granted in writing




Because an agent portrays himself as a representative of the insurer,

anything the agent says or does is implied to be the action of the insurer.

● Portraying oneself as a representative

● Wearing a name tag with company logo

● Handing out company business cards

● Words and actions that go "hand-in-hand" with express authority and

are usual in order to perform an agent's duties


Apparent Authority - ANSWER ✔✔another form of indirect authority

, when the agent does something to rep the insurer AND the insurer goes

along with it.

MEANING even if the agent does something he wasn't supposed to do,

the insurer will still be accountable for his actions IF they don't say or do

anything about it.

If an adjuster issues payment to a claimant for more than the claimant

actually lost—such as classifying something of greater value when in

reality it was of lesser value—the insurer still issues the check for the

consumer.

The adjuster appears to have the authority because the check was

issued.

This was a mistake but the insurer typically won't make the consumer

pay back the money simply because of an agent's mistake.


The Four Types of Sales Agents: - ANSWER ✔✔1. Independent

Insurance Sales Agent:The Independent Sales Agent is self-employed

and able to represent and offer insurance products from more than one

company at the same time.

2. Exclusive Agent: Also called " Captive Agent " He is paid on a

commissioned basis. He represents one insurer at a time and provides

quotes and policies from only that company.
