ChoicePoint, a provider of data products to the insurance claims industry, has launched what is says is the industry's first contributory database of insurance policy information for use by auto insurance carriers.

Known as Carrier Discover, the new product allows a claims adjuster to "instantly identify critical insurance carrier information on claimants or other involved parties in an accident," said Alpharetta, Ga.-based ChoicePoint.

"Our customers tell us that approximately 10 percent of all claims processed as 'uninsured motorist' turn out to be situations where an individual actually did have coverage," said Roy Marler, vice president of ChoicePoint's Claims Record Unit. "Carrier Discovery will assist with identifying those individuals and help improve recovery opportunities, delivering real value for our customers."
