What might indicate that an adjuster needs to request additional resources during an inspection?

The need for an adjuster to request additional resources during an inspection is indicated when the evidence is inconclusive or extensive. In such situations, the adjuster may encounter complexities that require further expertise or additional support to make a well-informed decision about the claim. Inconclusive evidence suggests that the adjuster may not have enough information to proceed confidently with the assessment, while extensive evidence points to a situation that could be multifaceted, necessitating further investigation or specialist input.

In circumstances where damages are borderline minor, the adjuster may not require additional resources, as the scope of the damage appears manageable. Quick completion of an assessment often indicates that everything is straightforward, so additional resources might not be necessary. In contrast, when initial observations confirm the claim, the adjuster likely has enough information to proceed without the need for further assistance. The key situation requiring additional resources arises from the ambiguity or complexity of the evidence present.
