The aim of the article is to elucidate the main differences between certain types of professional appraisers of risks and losses in the insurance market infrastructure of Ukraine. Analyzing and summarizing the provisions of regulatory legal acts and the results of researches by leading scientists in the field of insurance, it is determined that the range of functions of the underwriter at the stage preceding the conclusion of the insurance contract are somewhat wider than those of the surveyor, and the range of functions of the emergency commissioner at the stage of settlement of the insured event are wider than those of the appraiser, the average adjuster and the adjuster. Taking into account that professional appraisers of risks and losses as well as actuaries are responsible for the appraisals and recommendations provided by them, it is advisable to insure their professional responsibility. It is found that the number of certified emergency commissioners and actuaries is low in Ukraine, which requires further stimulation of the development of the insurance market infrastructure in terms of these components. Due to the fact that the work of the surveyor and adjuster is not legally regulated in Ukraine, these issues constitute prospects for further researches in this area.
