Drones offer insurers huge benefits. By putting drones, rather than people, in hazardous situations, insurers can prevent on-the-job injuries. Drones also lower the cost of roof inspections. When roofs are steep, insurers must provide harnesses and other safety equipment to adjusters. Alternatively, an insurer might hire a contractor to perform the inspection. Insurers can eliminate these costs by using a drone.

Drones enable insurers to save time and to focus their resources where they are most needed. Natural disasters such as floods and fires can cause destruction that extends across many square miles. Insurers can use drones to survey the area and get a bird's-eye view of the damage. They can plan their adjusting activities based on the data they collect and prioritize their response, sending adjusters directly to policyholders that need help the most.
