This one’s for the adjusters who keep learning even when nobody’s paying for training anymore.

Heather and Chantal talk about what real professional development looks like today — from learning policy language on your own to staying sharp as tech, AI, and consumer expectations change faster than your claim count. They dig into why mold and low-impact claims are making a comeback, how leadership can actually support adjusters, and why communication skills matter just as much as technical ones.

It’s a fun, honest conversation about taking ownership of your career, sharing what you know, and finding the balance between empathy and efficiency in claims.

🏈 Adjusters can’t do it all — sometimes you need to call in the experts.

Heather and Chantal dig into the world of experts in claims. From engineers and origin-and-cause investigators to claims handling experts, we explore:

• When adjusters should bring in specialized help (and when not to).
• Why “being an expert” takes more than Google or self-proclamation.
• How early expert involvement can save costs, reduce disputes, and even prevent bad faith.
• The challenges (and humor) of expert testimony in court.

Think of it like football: adjusters may be the quarterbacks, but sometimes you need that skilled player to step in. Or in classic film noir terms (yes, Double Indemnity gets a mention) — adjusters are the Renaissance folks of insurance, but even Renaissance folks know when to call backup.

Listen in for practical takeaways, ethical insights, and a few laughs about what it really means to be an “expert” in claims.
