How can I become a car insurance assessor?

I’m looking to change career paths a bit and have heard good things about working in the insurance industry. I love cars and was curious, how can I become a car insurance assessor?

Jack Walsh · Updated on Oct 22, 2021

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Working in the insurance sector is an excellent career choice! The process for becoming a

assessor, commonly referred to as an insurance claims adjustor, varies by state but in general, you will have to:

Complete your high school education or have a GED equivalent

Complete an insurance claims adjuster licensing course

Pass a state-level insurance claims adjuster course

Not every state requires a car insurance claims adjuster to be licensed, but some companies will, and having the correct license and education can help advance your career. Additionally, a claims adjuster can work directly for one insurance company, independently as a contractor for multiple insurance companies, or as a public adjuster.

If you’re not sure being a claims adjustor is right for you, or you want to advance your career further, consider becoming a licensed car insurance agent. Car insurance agents can’t work for the public as claims adjusters can, but they can work for companies like

which does not require car insurance claims adjusters.

What blood alcohol level is classified as driving while intoxicated?

I learned in driving school that you can only get a driving while intoxicated (DWI) ticket if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. My friend says it depends on your size and how drunk you seem during a field sobriety test. Who’s right? What blood alcohol level is classified as driving while intoxicated?
