Vehicle incidents
A vehicle incident is an object that captures loss information about a vehicle.
A vehicle incident typically includes an inline damageable called
vehicle
, with fields that describe inherent qualities of the
vehicle, such as make
, model
, and
licenseplate
. The vehicle incident also contains additional
information specific to the loss, such as airbagsdeployed
,
collisionpoint
, and driver
. You do not have to
specify vehicle
when creating a vehicle incident. If you do want to
specify vehicle, you can either:
- Specify an existing vehicle on the policy by providing its
policySystemId
. - Specify an existing vehicle risk unit on the claim by providing its ClaimCenter
id
. - Create a new vehicle by providing its attributes inline.
Unlike some other inline damageables, a vehicle
cannot be created as a
referenced resource in the included
section and then specified by
refid
. A new vehicle must be created as an inlined damageable.

- GET
/claims/{claimId}/vehicle-incidents

/claims/{claimId}
/vehicle-incidents
