Electronic crash data can be overwritten, erased, or lost if a vehicle is powered, repaired, or returned to service.
We assist attorneys with:

• Immediate preservation guidance
• Evidence preservation documentation
• Coordination of vehicle access
• Secure data retrieval planning
• Chain-of-custody documentation

Early intervention is critical.

Using industry-recognized tools and protocols, we coordinate or conduct:

• EDR downloads
• ECM data retrieval
• Airbag control module imaging
• Heavy truck ECM extraction
• Commercial fleet module downloads

All retrieval processes are documented carefully to preserve evidentiary integrity.

Raw crash data must be interpreted within the context of the physical evidence and collision dynamics. We assist legal teams by:

• Explaining event timing sequences
• Clarifying pre-impact speed data
• Analyzing brake and throttle inputs
• Evaluating Delta-V in injury context
• Comparing digital data to scene evidence
• Identifying inconsistencies with driver statements

Our goal is to translate technical data into clear, understandable findings for litigation.

In commercial vehicle crashes, electronic data may exist in multiple systems, including:

• Engine Control Modules
• Telematics systems
• Fleet tracking platforms
• Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs)

We assist in identifying and securing all relevant digital sources before data is altered or deleted.

Digital evidence can be compromised quickly due to:

• Vehicle repairs
• Salvage processing
• Power cycling
• Corporate fleet resets
• Automatic overwriting protocols

Failure to preserve crash event data can permanently affect a case.

Our crash data services include:

• Documentation of retrieval process
• Organized digital data files
• Summary reports for attorney review
• Clear explanation of event timing
• Integration with scene and vehicle documentation
• Coordination with accident reconstruction experts when required

All findings are prepared with courtroom presentation in mind.
