Good Afternoon Everyone,
First off, thank you for all that you do as a community.
My wife was recently rear-ended and is being cited as 70% at fault by the insurance company. She had just finished backing up and placed her vehicle in drive at the point of impact. I visited a company called Crash Forensics located in Lenexa, KS which extracted the EDR data and generated a report utilizing the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval system.
I provided the insurance company with the HEX file extract and also a copy of the report and they maintained that the evidence is not consistent with the eyewitness account and that the report is not admissible due to the fact that it does not show her shifter position for the 5 seconds before the crash, nor does it state the time the actual crash occurred.
I have attached a copy of the report and also the raw data file.
Is it possible to determine the following?
- What time did the crash actually occur?
- What was the shifter position during each of the recorded seconds prior to the crash?
Also, the vehicle that struck her was a 2008 Nisan Versa. Does that model of vehicle have an EDR? I have read mixed reviews.
