Anyone trained as an accident investigator? If so...?

Question

...which training provider did you use, and would you recommend them? Did the training and qualification lead to a rewarding career? I am considering a career change and wish to go into something rewarding with a good salary.

Answer 1

try posting thsi question under law and ethics-

or an insurance category

Answer 2

I was trained as an accident investigator with Progressive Insurance many years ago.  They also trained me on how to handle automobile liability claims and inspect automobile damage.  

I'm not sure if there are specialized schools or if you have to get this training from an employer (ie. police academy, insurance companies...etc); however, it is not always rewarding.  You often deal with someone who is not happy because of your investigation or you may have to investigate a fatality.

The salary was decent, but there are long hours and you may have to work on weekends which I got tired of in the end.

Good luck to you!
