Claims Triage and Liability Assessment Automation
Automates FNOL intake, claim segmentation, triage, assignment, and downstream liability assessment workflows across the claims lifecycle, including document review, fraud and SIU support, subrogation, communications, and claim summaries to improve speed, consistency, and staffing efficiency.
The Problem
“Claims Triage and Liability Assessment Automation for FNOL, Routing, and Downstream Claims Workflows”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Manual FNOL intake and claim routing create delays and inconsistent assignments
Claim evidence is spread across emails, PDFs, images, call transcripts, and core systems
Adjusters spend significant time on summaries, status notes, and customer communications
Fraud, SIU, and subrogation opportunities are identified too late or inconsistently
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Review FNOL submissions, emails, call notes, photos, and policy data to determine claim type and urgency
- •Manually segment claims, assign priority, and route work to adjusters based on experience, workload, and judgment
- •Read supporting documents and notes to identify liability signals, missing information, and next steps
- •Prepare claim summaries, status updates, customer communications, and referrals for fraud, SIU, or subrogation review
Automation
Human Does
- •Approve or override triage, assignment, and escalation recommendations for complex or high-risk claims
- •Make final liability, fraud/SIU, subrogation, reserve, and legal escalation decisions
- •Handle exceptions, resolve conflicting evidence, and request additional investigation when needed
AI Handles
- •Ingest FNOL inputs and claim documents, standardize claim data, and classify claims by type, severity, urgency, and completeness
- •Apply triage rules and predictive signals to recommend assignment queues, priorities, and follow-up actions
- •Extract entities, events, and evidence from reports, images, emails, and notes to generate claim summaries and liability evidence packets
- •Monitor claim activity to surface fraud indicators, subrogation opportunities, missing information, and draft communications or status updates

The system must not make final liability, fraud or SIU, subrogation, reserve, or legal escalation decisions without adjuster, supervisor, SIU, or legal review. [S1]
Why this step is human
The decision carries real-world consequences that require professional judgment and accountability.
Execute
Carry out the approved action in the operating workflow.
