Claim Report Drafting Standards

Claim report drafting standards should help a reviewer follow the file without guessing where facts came from or which items still require review. StateClaimAI structures drafts around claim basics, incident summary, chronology, observed damage, photo references, statement summaries, missing information, and professional review notes.

Who this is for

  • Adjusters who want a consistent structure for report drafts.
  • Small teams standardizing first-pass claim report documentation.
  • Users comparing drafting software against their own professional review standards.

What to include

  • Neutral factual language separated from claim decisions.
  • Source clarity for field notes, photos, statements, and uploaded materials.
