Each year, the EAS is used to file millions of car accidents with European insurers. Injury-related car accidents already account for 1,079,000 filings, where insurers aided customers in need (Source: [EU Care’s 2017 Annual Accident Report](https://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/sites/roadsafety/files/pdf/statistics/dacota/asr2017.pdf)).

The form is used to document accidents involving 2 or more parties. Included are 2 separate sections to be filled out, which require detailed information on the respective vehicles and their owners. The combination of a description of the circumstances with a graphical representation of the collision is vital to provide claim teams with collision details and how the vehicles were affected.

The challenges of manually processing EAS:

High variability: Handwriting is an incredibly diverse form of expression. These documents are often roughly filled out at the scene of the collision, posing a deeper challenge to adjusters poring over the text. Information accuracy can be compromised as a result.

Conflicting perspectives: In the case of a 2-car collision, there can be conflicting views on how the event occurred. This often results in contradictory information on the same document.

Intensely manual: The EAS consists of 100 fields of handwritten data. Digitizing handwriting is expensive and time-consuming – average processing time hovers around 15 minutes per document. Costs rapidly accumulate.
