Gradient AI Partners with ATTIC, RRG for Improved Claims Management
Gradient AI, a key provider of artificial intelligence solutions for the insurance sector, has announced that the American Trucking and Transportation Insurance Company (ATTIC, RRG) has chosen its claims management solution. This technology aims to enhance the prediction of claim risks, improve claims triage, and expedite the resolution of commercial transportation claims in a cost-effective manner.
About ATTIC, RRG
ATTIC, RRG is a member-based risk retention group focusing on the commercial automotive industry, offering auto liability insurance to small and mid-sized trucking firms. The organization is dedicated to giving motor carriers increased control over their insurance processes, providing access to substantial premium limits and high deductible options without excessive collateral demands.
Challenges in the Trucking Industry
Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in claim verdicts within the trucking industry, as highlighted by research from the American Transportation Research Institute. This increase is linked to several factors, including more injury and fatality incidents involving commercial trucks, alongside social inflation causing claims to outpace general economic inflation. In light of these challenges, ATTIC and other insurers in the sector have been looking into innovative strategies for efficient claim management and outcome prediction.
Limitations of Traditional Claims Prediction
Before adopting Gradient AI’s solutions, ATTIC’s approach to claim predictions relied heavily on an adjuster’s past experience and instincts. However, limited access to third-party data and machine-learning technology restricted their ability to gauge performance against other insurers in similar auto incident cases. Recognizing this limitation, ATTIC sought more extensive datasets and advanced tools to enhance outcomes for their members.
Why ATTIC Chose Gradient AI
ATTIC, RRG opted for Gradient AI due to its established expertise in the commercial auto insurance field, as well as its extensive data lake containing millions of claims and robust predictive analytics tools. These resources will help ATTIC assess claims more effectively, enabling the identification of high-risk cases for faster resolution by seasoned adjusters, which improves operational efficiency.
