<lower labor costs, faster turnaround> One bowling pin which digital photography has taken down very quickly: automobile and homeowners claims. In NJ, many field claim examiners take photos with digital cams, uplink them to the claim e-folder, attach the digitized report, and move on. My car was in a minor accident. The appraiser took 10 pix, mapped the damage on a schematic in her laptop, attached the digital photo file, and e-mailed the package. The bodyshop disagreed, took 4 more pix of a disputed area, e-ttached them to the claim file, and appealed. The claims reviewer was 400 miles away, agreed on the revised claim, and approved the work order in less than two hours. Knocking a week off claims review is impressive. Enabling any examiner to review the entire file is even more so. Same process is used for many house fire claims. GSR
