US Patent:
2012029, Nov 15, 2012
Filed:
Jul 23, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/555587
Inventors:
James T. Birchall - Southwick MA, US
Assignee:
HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G06Q 40/08
US Classification:
705 4
Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel system and method that provides real time information to an insurance adjuster. The system obtains information related to an insured item which has an outstanding claim. Information includes the cost to repair a specific item, the salvage value of the item, and the cost to replace the item. The system then compares the information related to the insured item from an economic perspective to determine whether it should be repaired or replaced. Since the system is objective, it reduces the reliance on subjective human factors such as collusion and lack of expertise. As a result, the system reduces the number of fraudulent and inaccurate transactions related to the specific item.

G06Q 40/00, G06F 17/30
US Classification:
705 4, 705 1, 7071041, 707E17001
Abstract:
A method for underwriting an insurance policy includes sending an electronic query from an insurance company to a central vehicle operator rating agency. The method further includes receiving at the insurance company an electronic response to the query from the central vehicle operator rating agency. The response includes data maintained by the central vehicle operator rating agency with respect to a vehicle operator. The data reflects a vehicle operating record of the vehicle operator. The vehicle operating record is a collation of data concerning vehicle operation activities of the vehicle operator over a period of at least two years. The method further includes routing the received data to an underwriter in the insurance company. The underwriter determines whether to issue or renew or adjust an insurance policy that covers the vehicle operator or an employer of the vehicle operator.
