Closing the Loop on Fraud & Stolen Vehicle Claims with LPR Data Intelligence
March 11, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM ET
Speaker: Michael Villanova, Hiram Johnson, and Jason Fiack of DRN
​
Fraud, delayed investigations, and slow recoveries continue to challenge insurers across the country. Despite advances in analytics and automation, many carriers still rely on manual reviews, outdated databases, or self-reported information. These gaps in visibility and efficiency lead to higher costs, longer claim cycles, and greater fraud exposure.
This webinar will explore how License Plate Recognition (LPR) intelligence from DRN is transforming fraud detection and stolen-vehicle investigations. With over 500 million monthly vehicle scans across 300 U.S. markets, DRN delivers actionable, verifiable insights that help insurers confirm facts, accelerate claims, and improve recovery outcomes.
