What type of insurance adjuster gets paid the most?

No single adjuster type earns the most across the board, but experienced independent adjusters, who contract per claim and often deploy to disaster areas, generally report the highest earnings; one industry guide places experienced independents well into six figures, above new staff adjusters. Public adjusters are paid differently: they earn a percentage of the settlement they obtain for the policyholder, capped at 10% of the settlement in Texas.
