In detail
What bodily injury claim means in practice
The bodily injury claim is the context for the demand: it is opened, assigned to an adjuster, and evaluated against the submitted documentation.
Why it matters
Understanding how the claim is evaluated determines what the package must prove.
Example
A BI claim assigned to a carrier's severity unit after surgical treatment is documented.
