Abstract:
To automatically streamline a vehicle claims process after a vehicle is damaged in a crash, crash information for the damaged vehicle may be compared to collision data to determine a total cost for repairing the damaged vehicle. A treatment facility for performing the repairs may be automatically selected from several treatment facilities, based on the capability of the treatment facility and whether the facility agrees to repair the vehicle for the determined cost. Once a treatment facility is automatically selected, the damaged vehicle may be transported to the selected treatment facility, and funds may be transmitted to the owner of the damaged vehicle to cover the cost of repair.
