The Future of Crash Investigation, Liability & Claims

In this Nelson Law LLC webinar, Mike Nelson (Nelson Law LLC) and Bryan Reimer (MIT) explore how vehicle data is reshaping accountability in the age of automated and connected vehicles.

What You’ll Learn

• The Role of Data in Every Crash: From onboard sensors to telematics and video evidence—see how data now drives liability and safety outcomes.
• Modern Claims Handling: How analytics and automation reduce litigation, improve accuracy, and lower costs.
• Access & Transparency: The legal and technical challenges of data ownership, sharing, and privacy.
• Technology Evolution: From early telematics to today’s sensor and video fusion systems—and where U.S. automakers stand globally.
• Regulatory & Industry Outlook: How data governance and safety standards are adapting to new realities.

Why It Matters

Vehicle data determines not just what happened in a crash—but who’s responsible.
As vehicles become software-defined, data transparency will shape litigation, insurance, and public trust. This webinar offers a practical roadmap for insurers, attorneys, and manufacturers to adapt now.

Why You Should Watch

Join us as Nelson Law LLC provides an in-depth review of the landmark verdict involving Tesla. This session uncovers how the evidence was presented, what it means for product liability across the auto industry, and how future litigation may evolve.

Key Takeaways

• Critical Role of Evidence: How vehicle data, internal company documentation, and expert testimony shaped the verdict.
• Liability Implications for Automakers: What this case means for manufacturers of connected and autonomous vehicles.
• Impact on Insurance & Claims: Insights on how new liability paths affect insurers and claims practices.
• Regulatory and Industry Shifts: How courts and regulators are responding to vehicle software, transparency, and safety.

Why It Matters

This verdict is more than a one-off case—it signals a major shift in how courts may hold manufacturers responsible, particularly in the evolving landscape of connected and autonomous vehicles. For legal teams, insurers, OEMs, and technology providers, the implications are profound.

Transforming How Crashes and Claims Are Handled

In this session, Mike Nelson (Nelson Law LLC) and Dr. Bryan Reimer (MIT) break down how vehicle data, autonomous systems, and connected services are changing crash investigation, liability, and insurance.

What You’ll Learn

• Data as Evidence: How sensors, telematics, dash-cams, and infrastructure feeds work together to determine fault, not just human testimony.
• Modern Claims Processing: Why manual reviews are being replaced by analytics-first workflows that reduce costs, cycle times, and litigation risk.
• Access & Ownership Challenges: Legal and technical barriers to data sharing, ownership and transparency in the connected-vehicle era.
• Autonomy and Industry Gaps: A look at how sensor fusion and software-defined vehicles compare globally, and where U.S. OEMs stand.
• Regulatory & Strategic Shifts: What insurers, manufacturers and regulators must do to stay ahead in an evolving mobility ecosystem.

Why It Matters

As vehicles move from mechanical machines to data-rich, connected platforms, understanding who did what, when, and under what system control is essential. This webinar provides a roadmap for insurers, attorneys and OEMs to embrace that shift—before legacy practices become liabilities.
