Liability Claims Adjuster (People and Internal Operations)

This is specialized office and field work in the investigation and adjustment of public liability and property loss or damage claims. Employees in this class are responsible for investigation and adjustment of cases involving claims for alleged damages arising from the operation or use of county property. Duties require the application of specialized insurance knowledge to determine liability and the feasibility of an equitable adjustment, and responsible contact with various local government officials whose municipalities are insured through county liability coverage. Incumbents are also responsible for the settlement of claims within a limited settlement authority. Supervision is received from an administrative superior who assigns cases for investigation, adjustment and reviews, works primarily for the attainment of information upon which settlement is made, or where higher-level disposition and legal action may be required.
