Accident investigations change over time — a report is filed, the status moves to Under Review, an insurance claim is opened, repairs are scheduled, and eventually everything is closed out. The Update Investigation row action is where you record those changes.
Open the investigation
- On the Accident Management page, find the report.
- Open the Actions dropdown and click Update Investigation.
- The Update Investigation modal opens.
Status & Investigation fields
- Status (required) — Reported, Under Review, Repairs Scheduled, Closed, or Total Loss.
- Vehicle total loss — toggle on if the vehicle is written off.
- Investigation Summary — a factual write-up of what the investigation found.
- Internal Notes — notes for your team that do not belong in the investigation summary.
Insurance & Costs fields
- Insurance Claim # — the claim number from your carrier.
- Insurance Status — Pending, Filed, In Review, Approved, Denied, or Paid.
- Estimated Damage (USD) — first estimate of the damage.
