An accident diagram that makes your insurance claim easier to read
Claims move faster when the adjuster can see what happened. A one-page diagram showing both vehicles, their directions and the point of impact answers in five seconds what three paragraphs of description cannot — and the exported PDF bundles the diagram, the vehicle details and your narrative together.
Create a claim-ready diagramWhat adjusters look for in a diagram
Whether you are the policyholder or the adjuster, the same elements make a claim diagram useful:
- ▸Both vehicles positioned at the moment of impact, on a recognizable road layout.
- ▸A travel arrow per vehicle — direction is the heart of most liability questions.
- ▸The point of impact marked explicitly, not implied.
- ▸Traffic controls that applied: stop signs, lights, lane markings.
- ▸Vehicle identification: the plate and a short description per vehicle, which the export prints as a table.
The narrative and the diagram, together
The tool includes a narrative field — a short written account that prints under the diagram in the export. Keeping the story and the picture in one document avoids the classic claim problem of a description that contradicts the sketch.
For adjusters and fleet managers
Nothing in the tool requires an account, so you can send a link to a policyholder or driver and receive a consistent, legible diagram back. Fleet teams use the same flow for incident reports.
How it works
- 1. Choose the road template that matches the location, or trace a photo of it.
- 2. Place the vehicles, add plates and short descriptions.
- 3. Mark directions of travel and the point of impact.
- 4. Write the narrative and export a single PDF for the claim file.
Frequently asked questions
Is the diagram legally binding?
No. It is an illustrative aid for communication. Your policy terms and your insurer's procedures govern the claim.
Can I attach the PDF to an online claim form?
Yes — the export is a standard PDF (or PNG) that attaches like any other document.
Does the tool store my claim data?
No. Drafts stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Export and save your own copy.
