Hesper AI

Use Cases / Liability Claims

Liability claims investigation, fully automated

General liability fraud relies on manufactured incidents, professional claimants, and pre-existing condition exploitation. Mapping networks and validating scenes is slow manually. Hesper AI runs a full investigation on every flagged claim in 2-4 hours.

[01] Fraud patterns

Common liability fraud schemes

Liability fraud spans individual exaggeration to organized professional claimants operating across multiple venues. Hesper investigates every flagged claim across all four schemes simultaneously.

Slip-and-fall staging

Manufactured incidents in retail locations, restaurants, and commercial properties. Hesper AI analyzes scene photos for staging indicators, cross-references the claimant's history for prior similar claims, and verifies witness identities against known fraud ring databases.

Professional claimants

Serial fraudsters filing repeated liability claims across different businesses and locations. Hesper AI maps claimant identities across ISO ClaimSearch and NICB, detects patterns of similar claims filed within geographic clusters, and identifies shared attorneys across cases.

Exaggerated damages

Legitimate incidents with inflated medical bills, fabricated lost wages, or overstated property damage. Hesper AI detects altered amounts in medical billing documents, validates treatment timelines against injury severity, and cross-references wage claims with employment records.

Pre-existing condition exploitation

Attributing pre-existing injuries or conditions to a covered incident. Hesper AI analyzes medical record timelines to detect treatment patterns that predate the incident, identifies inconsistencies between current and historical medical documentation, and flags providers with unusual billing patterns.

[03] Investigation flow

How Hesper AI investigates a liability claim

Every liability claim runs through a structured investigation pipeline. Phases run in parallel where dependencies allow.

01

Incident scene and document ingest

~5 min

Incident photos, accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and wage claim documentation are ingested simultaneously. Hesper analyzes each file across 200+ fraud signals at the pixel and text level.

Pixel forensicsMetadata analysisWitness statement parsingDocument authenticity
02

Claimant history and identity check

~7 min

Claimant identities are verified against ISO ClaimSearch, NICB, and public records. Prior claims history, professional-claimant patterns, and connections across multiple incidents are flagged with citations.

ISO ClaimSearchNICB lookupPrior claim historyIdentity graph
03

Witness and geographic analysis

~6 min

Named witnesses are verified against public records and prior claim databases. Incident locations are mapped against known fraud clusters - repeat venues, shared addresses, and geographic ring indicators.

Witness verificationGeographic clusterVenue patternRing proximity
04

Medical and wage claim validation

~12 min

Medical bills are analyzed for altered amounts, pre-existing conditions, and treatment patterns inconsistent with the reported incident. Wage claims are cross-referenced against employment records and published salary data.

Bill forensicsPre-existing detectionWage validationEmployment match
05

Investigation report and recommendation

~11 min

A complete investigation report is generated with scene findings, identity graph, medical analysis, and a denial or settlement recommendation. Output is SIU-ready and defensible in litigation.
