Michigan Crash Investigation & Evidence Preservation
Serious-crash evidence can disappear quickly. Vehicles may be repaired or sold, electronic data overwritten, and surveillance or commercial records erased.
- Preserve vehicle condition, event-data-recorder and telematics evidence.
- Collect law-enforcement, 911, body-camera, dash-camera and dispatch records.
- Identify roadway, weather, signal, surveillance and witness evidence.
- Preserve evidence relevant to both no-fault benefit eligibility and tort liability.
