CLAIMS INVESTIGATION
Know About the Crash
Before the Claim Arrives.
Carrier Software Claims Intelligence helps insurance companies identify potential losses sooner through continuous FMCSA crash activity and ELD/telematics monitoring.
When potential crash activity is detected, claims teams can investigate earlier, preserve critical information, and begin assessing the loss before traditional claim reporting may occur.

Illustrative example
First Notice of Loss
Detect Potential Losses Earlier.
Traditional claims workflows often begin only after an insured, agent, attorney, or third party reports a loss. Carrier Software adds another layer of visibility by continuously monitoring FMCSA crash activity and available ELD and telematics data for indicators of a potential loss. When potential crash activity is identified, claims personnel can be alerted for further investigation.
FMCSA Monitoring
- Newly reported crashes
- Inspections
- Violations
- Safety changes
ELD & Telematics Monitoring
- Crash-related vehicle events
- Location activity
- Harsh braking
- Speeding
- Significant driving events
Potential Crash Detected
Monitoring surfaces indicators of a possible loss event.
Claims Team Alerted
Claims personnel are notified for further review.
Investigation Begins
Investigation starts with connected carrier intelligence.
Connect the Dots

Point in Time
Reconstruct the Carrier at the Date of Loss.
Once a crash is identified, Claims Intelligence can recreate the carrier's safety profile as it existed when the loss occurred.

Investigation Lifecycle
Support Every Stage of the Investigation
From first notice through litigation preparation, the same connected information keeps every stage moving.
Detect the Loss
Continuous FMCSA crash activity and available ELD and telematics monitoring surface indicators of a potential loss, often before traditional claim reporting occurs.
Alert the Claims Team
When potential crash activity is identified, claims personnel can be alerted so the file is opened, the insured is contacted, and critical information is preserved sooner.
Investigate the Event
Confirm who and what was involved using connected carrier, driver, vehicle, inspection, and insurance information instead of waiting on scattered follow-up.
Reconstruct the Risk
Recreate the carrier's safety profile as it existed at the date of loss so severity analysis, liability evaluation, and litigation preparation rest on documented history.
