Spanish term or phrase: peritos tasadores
I have three, apparently different (according to my text) insurance adjusters:

peritos tasadores
comisarios de averías
liquidadores de averías

I've thought about translating them as follows:
peritos tasadores loss adjusters
comisarios de averías average adjusters
liquidadores de averías claims adjusters

What do you think? Does this work? The problem is that dictionaries give the same translation for the last two (average) and sometimes for all three!

Thanks very much for your help. I'll post the three terms separately to be fair.

appraiser, general damage adjuster,


Explanation:
this is another use for perito, although perito tasador seems a bit redundant. Out of context there is no implication of "loss"

Avería is damage also.

Comisario can also be a reviewing officer, but I agree that adjuster is a better word
