Patent number: 8725544Abstract: A method and system for receiving data relating to an insurance claim for a damaged vehicle and transmitting a valuation report for the damaged vehicle over the world wide web. The system includes a client computer and a web server that are coupled through an electronic communication network such as the internet. The web server contains a web site that contains a plurality of web pages. Each web page allows an operator to enter the insurance claim data. The data can be processed into a valuation report by a separate valuation server. The valuation report can be transmitted to the client computer through the web server. A claims adjuster can access the web server by merely entering a uniform resource locator (“URL”) into a web browser. The adjuster does not have to dial directly into the valuation server.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Audatex North America, Inc.Inventors: Seyed Reza Vahidi, Stan Griffin, Pankaj Desai, Sonja Larson, Robert Cooperrider, John W.
