The Evidence Is Already in the File
That distinction is sitting in the crash evidence on day one. Silent Witness finds it at FNOL, not after the file gets expensive enough to finally justify an expert.
For Carriers
The Real Claim and the Wrong Claim Look the Same at FNOL.
Two minor rear-end crashes, similar damage, the same cervical complaint on the intake form. One is a clean early resolution. The other needs an active defense, and nothing at FNOL tells you which.

The part that should worry you
The Expensive Claim Usually Starts as an Ordinary File.
A bumper photo. A modest estimate. Neck pain. Nothing on page one tells the adjuster which file becomes serious and which one doesn’t.
Every File Looks Ordinary at Intake
Some of the worst claims in your book looked routine on day one. The evidence that separated them was already there. Nobody had reconstructed it.

Adjusters don’t open another login. The reconstruction and causation analysis lands inside the claim they’re already working, at FNOL volume.

What Changes
What Changes
Operational
Different claims stop getting the same treatment.
Financial
Exposure becomes visible before litigation spend compounds.
Strategic
The same methodology runs across the book, not just on claims large enough to justify an expert.

Moderate CasePlaintiff
A moderate-energy left-turn intersection collision with the defendant Lexus cited under CVC 21801(a) for an unsafe left turn pins 81% technical fault on the defendant.
