Patent number: 12626307Abstract: A roof assessment (RA) computing device may be programmed to store a roof assessment model within memory wherein the roof assessment model may be configured to determine a roof status of a selected roof after experiencing a weather event, output from the roof assessment model target weather event parameters for the selected roof wherein the target weather event parameters are weather event parameters that result in at least repairable damage to the selected roof, store the target weather event parameters in memory for the selected roof, determine that the selected roof has experienced a first weather event having weather event parameters that meet the target weather event parameters, and/or transmit a message to a user computing device associated with the selected roof advising that a claim associated with an insurance policy has been triggered as a result of the selected roof experiencing the first weather event.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2023Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Christian T.

Publication number: 20250265667Abstract: Aspects of distributed ledger technology are leveraged to verify subrogation settlements. In particular, two parties to a subrogation claim provide cryptographic hashes to a subrogation demand smart contract stored at an address on a blockchain. The subrogation demand smart contract determines that the parties have reached an agreement by determining that the cryptographic hashes match. A settlement amount from the subrogation claim may be appended to a set of settlement amounts to determine a net settlement amount to facilitate a single payment between the parties on a periodic basis, such as daily, to alleviate the need for the parties to send or receive a payment for each individual settlement amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2025Publication date: August 21, 2025Inventors: Ryan Maurer, Nolan White, Kyle D. Weber, Edward Austin, William Guthrie, Dustin Helland, Bharat Prasad, Sharon Kay Haverlah, Karen Marie Shackelford-George

Publication number: 20230394033Abstract: The following relates generally to generating a property measurement (e.g., a property value, a construction replacement cost, a property health score, etc.) of a subject property, and, more particularly, to generating a property measurement of the subject property when at least one property parameter of the subject property is unknown or inaccurate. In some embodiments, a set of properties nearby the subject property is identified, and information of the set of properties is received. At least one property parameter (e.g., a year built, a square footage, a qualitative build grade of the subject property, etc.) is optimized. The property measurement of the subject property may then be optimized based upon the determined at least one property parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Puneit Dua, Joshua James Wiggs, Matt Corbin, Dustin Helland
