Claim participants
You can add any person or company as a participant for a claim. The participant can be an entity in the policy or a third-party.
The insurance processor adds participants to a claim during the First Notice of Loss activity, and can assign them a role (such as reporter or witness).
FSO insurance applications store claim contact information in the following Insurance Claims Core tables:
- The Claim Participant table [sn_ins_claim_profile] stores details about all participants involved in the claims process.
- The Participant Role table [sn_ins_claim_participant] stores information on the participant's role in the claim (such as if they are the injured or insured).
