Michael Reda and Adam McGonigle published an article in a recent issue of In Transit, the Trucking Industry Defense Association’s quarterly newsletter. In the article, they explore how the increasing prevalence of infotainment and tracking systems in vehicles is helping claims adjusters and defense lawyers obtain critical data after an accident. Among the authors’ practical tips are the importance of proper data downloads, preservation letters, and persistence. The full article is available here.
