Insurance claims adjusting is a complex, detail-oriented process that requires accuracy, efficiency, and thorough documentation. Claims adjusters investigate damages, assess the validity of claims, and help insurers and policyholders reach fair settlements. To do this effectively, adjusters rely heavily on precise and reliable data collected from the claim site.

At Data Capture Service, we provide specialized, advanced support solutions designed specifically for claims adjusters. By combining cutting-edge technology with expert field services, we enable adjusters to access comprehensive, high-quality data that accelerates claim processing, reduces errors, and improves the overall accuracy of damage assessments.

What Is Claims Adjuster Support?

Claims adjuster support encompasses a variety of tools, technologies, and services that facilitate the claims investigation and settlement process. These services aim to help adjusters gather detailed information about damages, document site conditions thoroughly, and communicate findings effectively.

Support can include:

• High-precision data capture of damaged properties or assets
• 3D documentation and mapping to create virtual representations of sites
• Detailed photographic and video evidence
• Customized reports and drawings to quantify damage
• Remote access to site data for easier review and collaboration
• Ongoing technical assistance and consultation during the claim lifecycle

The goal is to give claims adjusters the confidence and tools they need to make well-informed decisions quickly and accurately.

How Data Capture Service Empowers Claims Adjusters

At Data Capture Service, we recognize that timely and precise data capture is critical for claims adjusters to perform their work effectively. Our specialized support combines state-of-the-art technology with expert field experience to deliver unmatched accuracy and actionable insights.

Advanced 3D Laser Scanning for Precise Site Documentation

One of the core technologies we employ is 3D laser scanning. This non-contact, non-destructive method uses LiDAR (light detection and ranging) to capture millions of data points from a damaged site within minutes, producing an extremely detailed “point cloud” digital model of the environment.

• High Accuracy: Our Leica RTC360 and P-Series scanners capture data with 2-4 mm precision, ensuring every detail of the damage is documented exactly as it appears.
• Comprehensive Coverage: The laser scanner rotates 360 degrees and collects data from multiple vantage points to capture all visible surfaces, including structural damage, debris, and environmental conditions.
• Rapid Capture: With speeds up to 2 million points per second, the scanning process minimizes on-site time, reducing disruption and allowing adjusters to get data fast.
• Visual Context: Simultaneous panoramic HD photography creates realistic visual overlays, so adjusters see the exact appearance of the site alongside 3D measurements.

Detailed Damage Assessment and Reporting

After site data collection, our expert engineers process the raw scans and photos into a variety of tailored deliverables to assist claims adjusters:

• 2D and 3D CAD Drawings: Accurate floor plans, elevations, and sections that clearly mark damaged areas.
• Revit BIM Models: Detailed 3D building information models that can be used for restoration planning or clash detection.
• Virtual Tours and Flythroughs: Interactive 3D walkthroughs that allow adjusters and stakeholders to explore the site remotely.
• Annotated Reports: Field notes, measurements, and damage descriptions linked directly to specific scan locations ensure no detail is overlooked.
• Volume and Area Calculations: Quantitative data for assessing repair costs or material replacement.

This comprehensive reporting ensures adjusters have all the information needed for precise claim evaluation.

Remote Access and Collaboration

The digital nature of our deliverables means claims adjusters no longer need to rely solely on physical site visits or paper documentation. They can:

• Access and review high-resolution 3D models and images remotely on tablets or computers.
• Share interactive scans and reports easily with insurers, contractors, and policyholders.
• Annotate or request additional data without returning to the site.
• Reduce disputes and improve communication clarity by providing visual, quantifiable evidence.

Fraud Mitigation and Dispute Resolution

Accurate, immutable digital records captured by laser scanning and HD photography provide objective proof of damages, helping claims adjusters identify discrepancies or signs of fraud. This transparency improves trust between insurers and claimants and helps settle disputes fairly and efficiently.

How Does Claims Adjuster Support Work with Data Capture Service?

The claims adjuster support process at Data Capture Service follows a well-defined workflow designed to maximize accuracy and efficiency:

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Planning

We begin by consulting with claims adjusters to understand the scope of the claim, the extent of damage, and the specific deliverables required. This helps determine:

• The scanning resolution and detail level needed
• The number of scanning positions to capture the site fully
• The types of reports or models required

Step 2: On-Site Data Collection

Our trained and certified field technicians perform the scanning and photographic data capture using Leica 3D laser scanners and panoramic cameras. This step includes:

• Setting up scanners at multiple stations to capture all critical areas
• Capturing point clouds and HD imagery simultaneously
• Annotating the data with notes and observations using mobile devices to ensure field context is preserved

The non-contact laser scanning is safe for the site and occupants, causing no disruption or damage.

Step 3: Data Processing and Engineering

After collection, the raw data is processed by our skilled CAD and BIM technicians who:

• Register and stitch point clouds from multiple scans
• Integrate photographic textures for realistic visualization
• Generate accurate 2D drawings, 3D models, and custom reports tailored to the claim
• Perform volumetric measurements and damage quantifications

Step 4: Delivery and Support

The completed deliverables are delivered securely to claims adjusters for review. Our team remains available for:

• Additional clarifications or re-scans if required
• Assistance in interpreting data for claim decisions
• Support during dispute resolution or litigation processes
