Insurance Regulation
How does New York distinguish an independent adjuster from a public adjuster?
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. Section 2108 licenses the independent adjuster to adjust claims for the insurer and the public adjuster to act for the insured. The line drawn by the statute is whose side the adjuster is on, not the class of claim or the form of payment.Source: N.Y. Ins. Law § 2108 — § 2108
