Use Case 7: Upcoming Statute Monitoring

Overview: Proactively identifies claims approaching statute-of-limitations deadlines at FNOL and upon reopening to prevent missed legal deadlines and avoidable litigation.

Upcoming Statues track open and re-opened claims that are approaching the statute of limitations. These also include highlighted claims predicted for litigation. Claims at FNOL that are already nearing their statute-of-limitations deadlines must be monitored closely so adjusters know and plan early when time-sensitive action is required. This action also includes the automatic flagging of claims where upcoming statutory windows may affect coverage, liability, or required notices.

The Goal

to ensure adjusters never miss a legal deadline that could expose the carrier to unnecessary litigation or penalty. By flagging statute-of-limitations risks at FNOL, insurers can take timely action, protect compliance, and prevent claims from slipping into avoidable disputes. In short, early statute visibility = fewer surprises, fewer escalations, and stronger legal defensibility

Value Proposition

• Charlee’s insights engine built to identify signals - statute misses, litigation surprises, and reserve shocks - emphasizes;
• Early Prioritization: Time sensitive claims get instant visibility at FNOL, allowing adjusters to act before statutes, deadlines, or compliance windows put the claim — and the carrier — at risk.
• Litigation Risk Alerts: By analyzing narratives, injury patterns, attorney behaviors, and historical outcomes, claims predicted for litigation are flagged early in the lifecycle. Adjusters can then engage proactively, set more accurate reserves, or involve counsel before escalation.
• Optimizing File Quality: With flagging of missed steps, approaching deadlines, and emerging risks, the platform reduces statute misses, avoiding late surprises, and strengthening the claims outcomes for both insurer and policyholder.

Financial Impact

• Loss Ratio Impact: 0.1–1.0 pt reduction
• Leakage Avoided: $5K–$25K per missed-statute claim avoided
• Reserve Accuracy: 2–4% reserve accuracy improvement
