🔑 Pre-Licensing Courses for Agents & Adjusters

A Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance agent or adjuster works in the insurance industry, focusing on coverage that protects people and businesses from financial loss related to property and liability risks.

🔍 Property & Casualty Insurance Agent

A P&C insurance agent sells policies that cover:

  • Property – homes, cars, businesses, and other physical assets against damage or loss from events like fire, theft, or storms.

  • Casualty (Liability) – protection in case the policyholder is responsible for injury or damage to someone else (like in a car accident or slip-and-fall case).

Responsibilities include:

  • Explaining policy options to clients

  • Assessing insurance needs

  • Quoting and selling insurance products

  • Helping clients file claims

  • Staying updated on state insurance regulations

Agents may work:

  • For a specific insurance company (captive agent)

  • With multiple insurers (independent agent)

🛠️ Property & Casualty Insurance Adjuster

An insurance adjuster handles the claims process after a loss has occurred.

Responsibilities include:

  • Investigating claims (e.g., after a car accident, house fire, or storm)

  • Inspecting property damage

  • Interviewing witnesses or claimants

  • Reviewing policy coverage

  • Determining how much the insurance company should pay

  • Negotiating settlements

Adjusters can work:

  • For an insurance company (staff adjuster)

  • For a third-party firm (independent adjuster)

  • On behalf of the policyholder (public adjuster)

📌 Why It Matters

Both P&C agents and adjusters are essential to helping people and businesses protect what matters most—and recover when something goes wrong. These are stable, in-demand careers with opportunities for growth, especially in states like Georgia where insurance is a regulated and thriving industry.
