Inspection And The Initial Estimate
An adjuster may inspect in person, review photos, or use a virtual estimate tool. The first estimate is often a starting point based on visible damage, common labor times, and parts pricing. Hidden damage is normal after panels come off, so do not assume the first number is final. Confirm how the insurer wants the shop to submit updates.
