  • System And Method For Post-Repair Verification In Property Damage Claims
    Publication number: 20260172528
    Abstract: Methods and systems for verifying completion of a repair. A server receives an intake image when property arrives at a repair facility, and a post-repair image after the repair is reported complete. The system compares the images to verify that the repair is completed. Payment authorization is prevented if damage remains present and payment is authorized if the repair is verified complete. The system may detect additional damage potentially caused by the repair facility and require manual review.
