Your SIUYour SIUEvent Data Recorders (EDR) or Crash Data Recorder (CDR) allow the information of what was happening in a car 5 seconds before impact to be downloaded and reviewed. This data is crucial in fighting false claims or determining accurate liability in a comparative negligence state.
A real life example of this technology was used to fight and deny $30,000 in PIP Claims and another $20,000 in BI Exposure. A claim was called in as the driver with 2 passengers in the insured vehicle, lost control at 35-40 MPH, went off the road and struck a tree. All three individuals were injured and sought treatment. The EDR data was downloaded and it showed 5 seconds before the impact, the car was slowing to a gradual stop. The steering wheel showed slight corrections, and then the accelerator was put to 100% just before impact.
EDR data directly contradicted the drivers statement of losing control, attempting to over correct, and traveling at 35-40 mph when the loss occurred. The investigation also proved the vehicle was only occupied by the driver at the time of “impact.”
