1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving accident data for a vehicle involved in an accident;
analyzing the accident data for classification of damaged components and operations to be performed thereon; and
generating a triage decision for the vehicle based on a rules-based analysis of the classification and the operations.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data for a vehicle involved in an accident, analyzing the data for classification of damaged components and operations to be performed on the vehicle, and generating a triage decision for the vehicle based on a rules-based analysis of the classification and the operations. The triage decision may be used to route a claim corresponding to the accident to an appropriate resource for analysis and handling.

10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
triaging first estimate data for a first vehicle involved in an accident to obtain a first severity estimate;
triaging second estimate data for a second vehicle involved in the accident to obtain a second severity estimate;
determining a probability of impact severity for the accident based at least in part on the first severity estimate and the second severity estimate; and
reporting the probability of impact severity. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An article comprising a machine-accessible medium including instructions that when executed cause a system to:
-
receive a triage report indicative of a non-low severity impact for an accident involving a vehicle, the triage report including a vehicle damage pattern and a repair estimate;
receive an impact analysis report indicative of a low severity impact for the accident;
analyze the vehicle damage pattern and vehicle damage patterns stored in a database for similarities; and
modify triage evaluation criteria based on the similarities. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
