What is the minimum amount of information needed for a technical analysis?
Each case is different. In a recent case, all that was found in the claim file was a description of the vehicles, no damage estimates, no photographs, and about 4 to 6 inches of medical reports, The only thing We knew about the accident was that both cars had been stopped at an intersection, and the insured let her foot off the brake allowing her car roll forward and strike the back bumper of the other car. The claim was that the driver of the other vehicle suffered a TMJ injury. In this case we were able to provide likely Delta V’s from the impact, incoming speed probabilities, and g-forces that would be present. Further, we were able to talk about the possibility of a TMJ injury and what studies have shown about how much force is required to suffer this type of injury. The results were that the medical claims were dropped and the rear bumper cover of the claimant vehicle was painted.
