Never had to make an insurance claim in my life, so this is new to me. Thanks!

Damn. In a country with public healthcare, I have probably gotten close to 100 treatments all paid by insurance

You've led a lucky life so far, and I hope it continues!

Plus you have the etymology:
from Latin ad (“to, up to, towards”) + iustus (“correct, proper, exact”) + er (one whose occupation is the root noun; a person characterized by the root)

So like, "one whose occupation is to add and extract proper justice."

Reads more like "One who advances towards what is correct and proper" to me.

Though, I believe The Accountant is more thematically relevant, IMHO. 🤓
