Publication number: 20230289891Abstract: A system allows for a user to notify an insurance provider or other third-party with a button press. The button can notify of an emergency situation. An event determiner may analyze information of events surrounding the button click. This information may include the time of day, location, identifying information for the insured, recent locations of the button, information from similar button presses and information from previous insurance claims. Based on this information, the event determiner may provide a high percentage estimate of an abnormal condition: home break-in, car accident, flat tire, etc. The system may automatically take action, depending on the event, such as contacting the police, sending a tow truck, or starting an insurance claim.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Alinawaz Ismaili, Joel T.

Patent number: 10713717Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure describe systems and methods for handling a loss involving an insured vehicle. A total loss evaluation and handling system receives vehicle telematics data from a vehicle telematics device that monitors the vehicle. The total loss evaluation and handling system determines that a loss involving the vehicle has occurred, and a total loss evaluator selects a set of total loss rules configured to determine whether the loss is a total loss. The total loss evaluator applies the total loss rules selected to the vehicle telematics data received and determines whether the loss is a total loss based on the total loss rules applied. A total loss handler obtains an estimated value of the vehicle and generates a settlement amount based on the estimated value. The total loss handler initiates a payment corresponding to the settlement amount as settlement for the total loss.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Randall M.
