Sources of Electronic Evidence in Vehicle Crashes

When a crash happens, almost all modern cars save information in an on-board Event Data Recorder (EDR). While still valuable to our experts in collision reconstruction, EDR data is far from the only source of electronic evidence they have access to today. In this webinar created specifically for legal and insurance professionals, our experts will demonstrate what electronic evidence can be retrieved from cars, motorcycles, bicycle computers and other bits of modern technology, and how they can use it to make a difference in your cases. We hope you will join us.

From Teslas to bicycle computers, and from airbag modules to infotainment systems, our modern vehicles are generating and storing an ever-increasing amount of data. Learn how our experts Russell Gish, Janice Lee and Craig Wilkinson can extract, interpret, and use this electronic evidence in their analysis to get the answers central to your case.

Our presenters are certified continuing education providers by the California State Bar, and our courses are accredited by the Law Societies of British Columbia and Ontario.

Janice Lee PEng

 

Janice Lee has worked on a wide variety of cases and investigated issues such as speed, vehicle dynamics, impact severity, driver behavior, and night-time visibility. Using a crash data retrieval system, she downloads the “black box” crash data recorded by the airbag control module, which can provide key insights into the moments before a crash.

• Bicycle computers

Craig Wilkinson PEng

Craig Wilkinson has investigated a wide variety of issues in over 2,500 collisions involving commercial vehicles, passenger cars, bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and golf carts. Craig is also involved in MEA’s research and studies the reliability and accuracy of “black box” data. Craig is regularly asked to present the result of his analysis in court as an expert witness.  Read Craig's full bio.
