An Insurance Investigator works for a government or private company to assess whether insurance claims are legitimate. They bring a critical eye to files to look for fraud and other reasons why an insurance claim should not be honored. In many cases, insurance investigators may interview involved parties, check on damages, obtain and review medical or automobile repair records, and consult with experts in order to make a decision about the legitimacy of the claim.
Skills Involved
The work of an insurance investigator is centered around details. They must be able to switch gears from interviewing involved parties and taking their statements to poring over documents looking for inconsistencies. Reading comprehension, writing skills, and verbal communication are all key to success. Most also need to have a sense of the medical, mechanical, or construction fields, since the claims may span injuries, accidents, and property damage.
