What is Insurance Estimator?

An Insurance Estimator for Vehicle Damage usually works for an insurance company, to inspect an accidentally damaged vehicle (and ask for insurance). He will go see the vehicle in question, and assess the damage to the vehicle to determine the cost of repairs and the determination of the insurance claim. Then he must prepare an insurance form, to indicate the cost of repair or estimated costs and recommendations. An Insurance Estimator for Vehicle Damage can seek approval and advice from the automotive workshop, regarding repair costs.
