The Descent: A Gatekeeper’s Failure
Mayday, Mayday… My Career Was in a Nosedive
I remember the day I got my first claims adjuster license.
I was sharp, ambitious, and ready to climb the corporate ladder.
The training was intense, a firehose of policy language, legal statutes, and estimating software.
But beneath it all, the prime directive was unspoken yet crystal clear: you are a gatekeeper.
Your job, first and foremost, is to protect the company’s assets.
You are the last line of defense between the company’s treasury and the claimant’s request.1
The industry phrases it in various ways—”managing liability,” “ensuring accurate settlements”—but the core mission, as I quickly learned, was to resolve the most claims for the lowest possible payouts.1
This created a profound and immediate cognitive dissonance.
My daily reality was a battlefield of competing pressures.
On one side, my managers and their spreadsheets, tracking metrics and closure rates.
On the other, the phone calls.
People who had just lost their homes, their health, their sense of security.
They were scared, angry, and grieving.
My job description said “adjuster,” but the reality felt more like a mix of crisis negotiator, grief counselor, and, all too often, antagonist.
The workload was immense, a constant barrage of new files, each representing a new human trauma.3
The hours were unpredictable, the emotional toll staggering.
I saw firsthand why so many of my peers, as I’d later see echoed in online forums, would burn out, describing the job as a “form of punishment” and confessing, “I couldn’t do it anymore”.5
The system’s inherent design forces a dehumanization of both parties involved.
To effectively minimize payouts, an adjuster is implicitly encouraged to view the claimant not as a person in crisis, but as a collection of risk factors and liabilities to be managed.
This adversarial posture, reinforced by tactics like strategic delays and leveraging a claimant’s medical history against them, creates a toxic environment that is emotionally and psychologically draining for the adjuster.1
For the claimant, this experience is one of being treated like a number, which only amplifies their fear and frustration, making litigation a more likely outcome.8
This cycle of dehumanization, stress, and conflict is not only damaging but ultimately inefficient for everyone.
The Claim That Grounded Me
The breaking point came in my third year.
The file seemed straightforward: a family man, let’s call him Mr. Harris, involved in a minor rear-end collision.
The initial property damage was minimal, but his back injury lingered, then worsened.
I followed my training to the letter.
I was the perfect gatekeeper.
I approached his file with institutional skepticism.
I requested endless documentation, creating strategic delays.
I combed through his medical history and found a minor back strain he’d suffered playing softball five years prior.
This became my weapon.
In our conversations, I used carefully worded questions to imply his current pain was just an aggravation of an old issue, a common tactic to downplay the seriousness of an injury.7
My settlement offer was based not on his new reality of chronic pain and missed work, but on the cold, dehumanized calculation of our claims software, which flagged his pre-existing condition and spit out a lowball number.10
The result was catastrophic for him.
Unable to work and facing mounting medical bills, he and his family spiraled financially.
Months later, a letter arrived, not from an attorney, but from Mr. Harris himself, addressed to my supervisor.
It was a multi-page, handwritten, heartbreaking account of how our process had broken him.
He wasn’t just asking for more money; he was describing the loss of his dignity.
Reading that letter, I felt a profound sense of failure.
It wasn’t just a professional misstep; it was a moral one.
I had followed the rules, excelled at the job I was trained to do, and in the process, I had dismantled a man’s life.
I was on the brink of quitting, convinced that the role of an adjuster was fundamentally incompatible with being a decent human being.
The Epiphany: A New Paradigm
The Revelation: An Air Traffic Controller for Human Crises
In the midst of this professional and existential crisis, I stumbled upon a documentary about air traffic controllers.
I watched, mesmerized, as they managed dozens of aircraft in a complex, high-stakes environment.
And then, it hit me with the force of a lightning bolt.
An Air Traffic Controller (ATC) does not exist to stop planes from landing.
Their purpose is to manage an incredibly complex system with non-negotiable rules—physics, weather, runway availability—to guide every single aircraft to a safe and orderly landing.
I realized this was the perfect mental model for a truly effective and ethical adjuster.11
My job wasn’t to be a gatekeeper blocking people from a pot of money.
It was to be an
Air Traffic Controller for Human Crises.
This reframing changed everything.
The claimant was the Aircraft, often in a state of distress and uncertainty.
The fair and ethical resolution of their claim was the Destination.
The insurance policy, state regulations, and the objective facts of the case were the Rules of the Sky—firm, impartial, and non-negotiable.
My role, then, was to be the expert in the Control Tower, using my knowledge to navigate the aircraft through the complex rules to a safe landing.
My perspective shifted instantly from adversarial to navigational, from conflict to control, from gatekeeper to guide.
This new paradigm transformed the job from a zero-sum game into a systems management problem.
The old “gatekeeper” model frames every claim as a battle: every dollar paid to the claimant is a dollar lost by the company.1
The “Air Traffic Controller” model reframes the claim as a complex project requiring expert management.
The goal is no longer to “win” by paying as little as possible.
The goal is to achieve maximum system efficiency: a safe landing for the claimant, strict adherence to all the rules (the policy), and the avoidance of catastrophic system failure—which in our world means costly litigation, bad faith claims, reputational damage, and regulatory fines.8
This perspective aligns the adjuster’s actions with the
long-term financial health of the company, which depends far more on efficiency and avoiding these multi-million-dollar failures than it does on shaving a few thousand dollars off an individual claim.
The Flight Plan: A New Methodology
Adopting the ATC mindset requires a new flight plan, a methodology built on three core pillars: mastering the technical system, managing the human element, and navigating the ethical airspace.
Pillar I: The Radar Screen — Mastering the Technical System
An ATC must have absolute, real-time mastery of their technical environment.
They need to see the entire airspace, understand the rules, and track every variable.
For an adjuster, this means achieving total command of the claim’s ecosystem.
1. Reading the Airspace: The Ecosystem of a Claim
First, you must know who is in your sky.
The term “adjuster” is used broadly, but there are distinct roles with different motivations.
Recognizing them is like an ATC knowing the difference between a commercial airliner, a cargo plane, and a private jet.
Each has a different flight plan and pilot.
| Adjuster Type | Who They Work For | Primary Goal | How They Are Paid | Key Differentiator |
| Staff Adjuster | A single insurance company | Minimize payouts while adhering to company metrics and policies 1 | Salary + Bonus | Employee of the insurer 14 |
| Independent Adjuster | Multiple insurance companies (as a contractor) | Efficiently investigate and close claims per the hiring insurer’s guidelines 16 | Per-claim fee or daily rate | Third-party contractor for the insurer, often used in catastrophes 14 |
| Public Adjuster | The policyholder (the claimant) | Maximize the claimant’s settlement amount 18 | Percentage of the final settlement | The only adjuster who is a legal advocate for the claimant 14 |
2. Understanding the Flight Plan: Deconstructing the Policy
The insurance policy is the flight plan.
It is not a weapon to be used against the claimant; it is the set of rules that dictates the route from takeoff to landing.
An ATC-minded adjuster achieves mastery of the policy—knowing all coverages, exclusions, limits, and endorsements inside and O.T.16
A key part of the job is being able to explain this complex document in simple, clear, and honest terms to the policyholder, who is relying on your expertise.20
3. Tracking the Aircraft: The Art of Investigation
This is the “detective work” of adjusting, but the goal is different.21
A gatekeeper investigates to find a “gotcha” that justifies a denial.
An ATC investigates to establish a clear, factual, and objective picture of the aircraft’s flight path.
This requires a systematic process rooted in an investigative mindset: “Assume nothing.
Believe nothing.
Challenge and check everything”.23
This means being relentlessly curious, developing multiple plausible hypotheses about what happened, and then actively trying to disprove your own theories to avoid confirmation bias.24
The process involves meticulously gathering all available data—police reports, medical records, witness statements, photos, and videos—to reconstruct the event based on objective truth, not a predetermined conclusion.1
4. Assessing the Weather: Evaluation and Tools
Just as an ATC must constantly assess the weather, an adjuster must evaluate the physical and financial damages.
This requires deep technical knowledge.
For property claims, this means understanding construction and being proficient in estimating software like Xactimate, which is used for the vast majority of property estimates in the U.S..26
For injury claims, it means being able to interpret complex medical records and knowing when to consult with medical experts to form an accurate picture of the claimant’s condition and prognosis.25
Pillar II: The Control Tower — Managing the Human Element
The most sophisticated radar screen is useless without a calm, clear, and empathetic voice in the control tower.
This pillar is about the communication and psychological skills needed to manage the human crisis at the center of every claim.
1. “Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan”: Communicating with an Aircraft in Distress
A claimant is not a file number; they are a person experiencing trauma, grief, and fear.9
Standard corporate communication will fail spectacularly.
The ATC mindset requires specific, empathetic communication techniques designed for high-stress situations:
- Active Listening: When the claimant speaks, you stop everything else. Put down the tape measure, turn away from the computer, and listen. Let them talk without interruption. Your goal is to understand, not to formulate a rebuttal.30
- Reflecting Feelings: Go beyond the facts of the incident and acknowledge their emotional state. Simple phrases like, “It sounds like this has been incredibly frustrating,” or “I understand you’re scared about what comes next,” can defuse tension and build trust. It validates their experience and shows them you see them as a human being.30 As the old saying goes, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
- Treating Every Claim as a Catastrophe: A small water spot on the ceiling might seem minor to you, but to the homeowner who is trying to sell their house, it’s a crisis that could derail their entire life plan.32 An empathetic adjuster understands that the claimant’s perception is their reality and never dismisses their concerns.
The industry often treats empathy as a “soft skill,” but it is a core risk management tool.
A lack of empathy is a primary driver of claim escalation.
When claimants feel unheard, disrespected, or treated like an adversary, they become frustrated and fearful.9
It is this emotional distress, often more than the facts of the claim itself, that drives them to hire an attorney.8
Litigation is the most expensive and inefficient outcome for an insurance company.13
Therefore, genuine empathy and clear communication are not just “nice”; they are critical tools for de-escalation, building trust, and guiding the claim to a timely and cost-effective settlement.
By managing the claimant’s emotional journey, the adjuster actively manages the company’s financial risk.
2. Controller Fatigue: The Risk of Secondary Trauma and Burnout
Constantly absorbing the trauma of others takes a severe toll.
This isn’t just “stress”; it’s a recognized clinical phenomenon.
Adjusters are at high risk for secondary trauma, with symptoms that mirror PTSD: anxiety, depression, apathy, guilt, and social isolation.28
This is the grim reality behind the high turnover rates and cries for help seen on adjuster forums.5
The causes are a toxic cocktail of heavy workloads, the emotional weight of dealing with claimants in distress, and the moral injury that comes from being forced into the “gatekeeper” role.3
The ATC mindset provides a powerful antidote by reframing the job around a sense of purpose and control, but other strategies are vital: establishing firm work-life boundaries, creating a routine for debriefing with trusted colleagues, and practicing mindfulness to decompress.3
3. Clearing a Path: Navigating a Crowded Sky
A claim is rarely a simple two-party affair.
The sky is often crowded with attorneys, doctors, contractors, and witnesses.
The ATC must coordinate all of them.
When dealing with lawyers, who can be adversarial, the key is to remain impeccably professional, communicate with clarity, and anchor every discussion in the objective facts of the case.35
The ATC doesn’t argue with the pilot’s lawyer; they calmly state the rules of the airspace.
Pillar III: The Rules of Engagement — Navigating Ethical Airspace
An ATC’s every decision is governed by an unwavering code of ethics and procedure.
A mistake can be catastrophic.
This pillar addresses the ethical tightrope an adjuster must walk.
1. The Prime Directive: The Adjuster’s Code of Ethics
Every licensed adjuster is bound by a formal code of ethics that mandates fair and honest treatment of the claimant, promptness, and unbiased reporting.36
The ATC mindset internalizes this code not as a list of rules to avoid breaking, but as the fundamental operating system for ensuring the safety of the entire system.
Key tenets include never misrepresenting facts or policy provisions, adjusting claims strictly in accordance with the insurance contract, and never advising a claimant to refrain from seeking legal counsel.37
2. Avoiding Near Misses: The Core Conflict of Interest
This is the most dangerous part of the airspace.
The corporate pressure to minimize payouts is in direct conflict with the ethical duty of fairness.1
The “gatekeeper” buckles under this pressure, leading to unethical tactics.
The “Air Traffic Controller” navigates this conflict by anchoring every decision to the objective rules.
The settlement value is not what the company
wants it to be; it is what the facts of the case, applied to the rules of the policy, dictate it to be.
This principled, evidence-based stand is the only defense against the inherent conflict of the role.
Ethical Dilemmas: A Principled Response Framework
| The Dilemma | The “Gatekeeper” (Failing) Response | The “Air Traffic Controller” (Principled) Response |
| Pressure to lowball a valid claim | Make an offer significantly below the evaluated range, hoping the claimant accepts out of desperation or ignorance.2 | Present an offer based on a transparent evaluation of the facts and policy. Justify the amount with clear evidence. The goal is a fair resolution that avoids costly litigation. |
| Claimant has a pre-existing condition | Use the old injury to deny or drastically reduce the value of the new, accident-related injury.7 | Meticulously separate the two conditions. Acknowledge the pre-existing condition but focus on evaluating the exacerbation caused by the current incident, as covered by the policy. |
| A supervisor suggests delaying communication to “wear the claimant down” | “Ghost” the claimant, letting calls go to voicemail, hoping they give up or the statute of limitations expires.7 | Maintain proactive, regular communication. Provide clear timelines and manage expectations. Control the process through communication, not avoidance. |
3. Identifying Unidentified Flying Objects: Handling Fraud
Fraud is a real threat that must be taken seriously.25
However, approaching every claim with a cynical, “fraud-first” mindset poisons every interaction and treats innocent people like criminals.
The ATC doesn’t assume every blip on the radar is hostile.
They investigate.
The key is to apply the same objective, fact-based investigative process from Pillar I to all claims.
When the facts and evidence fail to align, that is when a claim is flagged for deeper investigation by a specialized unit, not before.
The Successful Landing: A New Approach in Action
A Claim Re-Flown: The ATC Method in Practice
To see the power of this paradigm, consider a case that came across my desk a few years after my epiphany.
It was a complex, multi-car pileup with disputed liability and several significant injuries—a scenario ripe for years of litigation.
Instead of seeing adversaries, I saw a sky full of aircraft in distress.
I immediately applied the ATC framework.
- Radar Screen: I meticulously mapped all the players—the drivers, their insurance policies, the passengers, the witnesses. I gathered all police reports, photos, and initial medical statements, building a comprehensive, 360-degree view of the “airspace.”
- Control Tower: I initiated contact with each party. With the injured claimants, I led with empathy, acknowledging their pain, fear, and frustration. I explained the complexity of the situation and gave them a clear, realistic timeline for the investigation. I managed communications with multiple attorneys by sticking to the objective facts and providing regular, professional updates. There was no antagonism, only a shared mission to establish the facts.
- Ethical Airspace: There was internal pressure to assign primary blame to one party to limit our exposure. I resisted, insisting that our liability assessment be based solely on the evidence from the accident reconstruction. The final settlement offers were not based on what we could get away with, but on a transparent breakdown of the apportioned liability and a fair evaluation of the documented damages and policy limits.
The outcome was a successful landing for everyone.
All claims were settled within nine months, completely avoiding litigation.
The claimants, while certainly not happy about the accident, expressed that they felt the process was fair and that they had been treated with respect.
The company avoided what could have easily become a multi-year, multi-million-dollar legal battle.
This is the ATC method in action: better outcomes for everyone in the system.40
Charting Your Own Flight Path: A Career Guide
Conclusion: Becoming the Pilot of Your Own Career
The Air Traffic Controller paradigm is more than a technique for handling claims; it’s a philosophy for building a sustainable, meaningful, and successful career in a field that desperately needs skilled professionals.
For the Aspiring Adjuster:
Getting cleared for takeoff requires a few key steps.
While some employers prefer a bachelor’s degree, a high school diploma is the typical minimum.27 The most critical step is getting licensed.
If you live in a state that requires a license, you must obtain that one first.
If you live in a non-licensing state, you should still get a Designated Home State (DHS) license from a state like Florida, as most adjusting firms require a license to work anywhere in the country.43
Be prepared for a steep learning curve.
As one veteran adjuster wisely noted on a forum, “Accept that Year 1, you will suck.
You will be stressed and overwhelmed…
Year 3, you should be coasting and be comfortable”.44
Focus on learning, find a mentor, and build meticulous organizational systems.
For the Veteran Adjuster:
The greatest danger for an experienced professional is complacency.
To avoid getting “pigeonholed” into one line of business, pursue continuous learning and specialization in areas like catastrophe (CAT), auto, workers’ comp, or marine claims.44 I urge you to consider adopting the ATC mindset.
It can be the key to combating burnout and finding renewed purpose, transforming your role from a high-stress battle into a high-skill navigation challenge.
The choice is yours.
You can remain a gatekeeper, forever fighting against the tide of human need and burning out in the process.
Or you can step into the control tower, embrace the complexity, and become the calm, expert voice that guides people through the storm.
By rejecting the broken model and embracing the role of a skilled, principled Air Traffic Controller, you can not only achieve better results but can also build a career of integrity, purpose, and profound professional pride.
