Accident Reconstruction and the Importance of Physical Evidence

Understand how to obtain and preserve data after a crash and what should be done with this data regarding the law.

Many attorneys, transportation officials, and insurance companies allow data to be inadvertently destroyed by not collecting and preserving data from event recording devices after a collision. This can lead to sanctions for spoliation of data due to the fact that it was not collected or not collected properly. Not collecting readily available data can lead to large losses. This topic will assist individuals in learning how to preserve this data and the processes involved.
