Reddit reviews SteelClip #1 Aluminum Storage Clipboard - Highest Quality for Everyday use - Aluminum Forms Holder with Top Hinged Opening and Self-Locking Latch

Field damage appraiser/adjuster since 1994 here:

1. On site on a property claim you'd be taking photos, taking measurements with a tape measure, asking questions about how the damage happened and any steps taken to mitigate further damage after the event. I use one of those brown clipboards but a lot of adjusters "storage clipboards" like this, except usually plastic instead of metal. Property adjusters usually have a car large enough to hold a folding ladder.
   
   Back in the 90's my carrier had me wearing a suit & tie, even climbing on roofs and such. We even wore leather-soled shoes on asphalt roofs and slip-on covers like Cougar Paws to keep from sliding off roofs. Nowadays we wear khaki pants, a light jacket, and light hiking boots/shoes.
   
   
2. A "Multi-line" adjuster is somebody who looks at claims from multiple lines of business, like property, auto, and casualty/injury claims. A "general adjuster" is actually a specific type of property adjuster with a high level of authority. This position is defunct at a lot of companies now but in the 90's it would usually be a property adjuster with 20-30 years of experience who handled really big commercial/homeowner losses. Like stuff so big they may get fewer claims in an average month than you could count on one hand. Most companies have their field claims staff split-up by line of business but a few still have multi-line reps. it is conceivable that one would be assigned a slip & fall at the same time as handling a hurricane damage claim. If I was creating a character for this they'd not be a CAT team member but perhaps the usual local guy who did regular multi-line claims and was helping out the cat team while they were in his area.
   
   
3. In the 90's it would normally take a couple weeks before you'd go look at a claim like somebody being injured by a door. it would take that long to filter through the system. Even for a serious car accident it might be a few days. i was a field casualty adjuster in the 90's and even very serious car and home accidents didn't reach my in-box for at least several days. Sometimes it was months.
