.
Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) relies upon an instrument installed in most passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks called an
event data recorder (EDR).   An EDR is generally  part of a vehicle's airbag control module, and can be configured to
store recorded information such as speed, brake use, or restraint system performance when a vehicle is involved in a
crash event.  

EDRs are triggered by sudden changes in speed (also called Delta-V), and can help determine what the vehicles were
doing before, during and after a crash event.  Crash Data Services, LLC has certified crash data retrieval technicians
and analysts available to access vehicle crash data for use in the  reconstruction of traffic accidents.

Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) Details
Fee:  Flat rate of $425 per car* (please see our policies for more information)
*Purchase our accident investigation package and receive crash data retrieval for free.

**The actual data available via crash data retrieval is contingent upon the specific make/model of the vehicle. Vehicle
coverage changes often. Please contact us for details.

**When dealing with significant accidents, there is always the possibility that data normally collected within a vehicle’s
airbag control module might be irretrievable, such as collisions where there was power loss prior to completed
recording. In such cases, customers are still responsible for full payment of any crash data retrieval services.

There are currently over 46 million cars
registered throughout North America with
data available via crash data retrieval.

By 2012 all motor vehicles produced for
North America will make their crash data
available for download.

Crash Data Retrieval Training
As of today, all of the major American manufacturers have made the majority of their vehicles available
for download by our crash data retrieval experts.  The American manufacturers include General Motors
family vehicles, Ford family vehicles, and Daimler Chrysler family vehicles.  In addition, Toyota family
vehicles are also accessible to our accident reconstruction experts.  These families of vehicles account
for about 60 – 70 percent of the annual vehicles manufactured for North America.
