VERBATIM Claim Services Announces Vista FX – Accident Diagramming Software for the Insurance Industry

Powerful claims incident software simplifies the creation of high-quality accident diagrams and animation, resulting in increased productivity, cost savings and professionalism

Oviedo, Florida - June 7, 2004 VERBATIM Claim Services, Inc. announced today the release of Vista FX, the insurance industry’s easiest and most powerful diagramming application ever released. Claims managers, adjusters and legal teams can effectively use Vista FX to reduce the time spent creating a scaled diagram while dramatically improving the professionalism of the drawing; resulting in timesaving, professional case files and an increased likelihood for winning disputed claims.

“Our experience has shown that many insurance professionals still draw accident scenes by hand- a time consuming process that generally results in a poor representation of what actually happened,” notes Fred Westbrook, President of VERBATIM Claim Services. “Our clients using Vista products achieve a significant increase in their win ratios when presenting high-quality diagrams that makes it easy for a panelist or jury to understand contentions and make a proper ruling.”

Build Accident Scenes in Seconds
Vista FX’s enhanced drawing interface streamlines the process of creating two-dimensional accident scenes to scale. The Smart Roads feature allows users to simply place a pre-drawn intersection or road segment type onto the drawing scene and edit its features. Additional drawing tools and extensive object libraries enable the precise placement of road angles, curves and objects to enhance the scene. Users add text boxes, scene notes and landmarks to clarify points and conclude the process. Drawing takes less than 60 seconds – and results in a professional, court-acceptable diagram.

Advanced Features
Vista FX’s Smart Tools, enables users to insert advanced objects like barriers or guard rails as easily as drawing a line. Team-based templates encourage companies to build a custom library and share predefined or customized road scenes company-wide. Vista FX’s enhanced graphical engine renders 2-D diagrams into a dynamic 3-D model faster and with higher resolution. Create a realistic 3D walk-through by panning, zooming, altering the lighting, and viewing from different angles. The optional RealMotion 3D component then animates scenes reflecting momentum analysis and timing of accidents as they actually occurred. Export or embed drawings using PDF, PNG, GIF, JPEG and AVI image formats.

Pricing and Availability
Vista FX Express is available worldwide as a single license for $395 or as part of the Claims Investigator Edition, which adds a vehicle specification database and Interview Pro – a customizable scripting/interview application for $695. Current customers, for a limited time, may upgrade to Vista FX for $195 per license.
