Session Details:

Modern vehicles generate continuous Vehicle Performance Data (VPD) far beyond the limited snapshots of traditional event data recorders.  This session explains how VPD, often accompanied by synced vehicle data, provides a precise and objective record of what occurred in both everyday crashes and complex, high-risk litigation.  Mike Nelson will outline how VPD is created, transmitted through embedded vehicle systems, and obtained from OEMS, and why it is now accessible, low-cost resource for plaintiff attorneys evaluating liability, causation, and case viability.  Unlike older methods of crash reconstruction, VPD offers detailed, time-stamped insight into vehicle behavior, driver inputs, and system performance at the moment of impact.  Through real case examples, Mike Nelson demonstrates how this modern digital evidence can clarify disputed facts, avoid weak cases, and strengthen litigation strategy across the full spectrum of motor-vehicle claims.
