For civil & personal injury counsel

The digital record is often the most objective witness

In personal injury, wrongful death, and other civil cases, phone records, vehicle data, and location history frequently hold the clearest account of what happened, and are frequently left on the table. We help counsel identify, analyze, and present that evidence through deposition and trial.

Distracted driving analysis

Was the driver using a phone at the time of the crash? We answer that question by integrating several data sources into a defensible timeline of device activity and driver behavior:

  • Case viability assessment: an early review of the crash report, timeline, available records, and discovery to determine whether meaningful digital evidence exists and what should be subpoenaed.
  • Carrier record analysis: call detail records, SMS and MMS records, and data session logs around the time of the crash. Were calls or texts in progress? Was the device transmitting data?
  • Device activity reconstruction: app usage, screen and unlock activity, and other user-interaction artifacts showing whether the phone was actively in use.
  • Vehicle telematics: speed, braking, and event data from infotainment and telematics systems to reconstruct pre-collision behavior.

Social media evidence

Claimants, defendants, and witnesses post about their activities, travel, and health before, during, and after an incident, often in ways that support or undercut what they say under oath. Public posts, photos, and videos can be decisive on liability, damages, and credibility, but only if they're captured before they're deleted and documented well enough to be authenticated.

We forensically capture public-facing content with the source, capture time, hash values, and method recorded, then analyze what it actually shows and present it in court-ready form. More on social media investigations

How an engagement works

Case review

After a conflict check, a review of the available records to identify evidentiary strengths, gaps, and what should be subpoenaed or preserved.

Strategy & analysis

A deep review of the records: what supports your client's position, what the other side will challenge, and how to close the gaps.

Report & testimony

Rule 26-compliant expert report, deposition testimony, and trial appearance, as much or as little as the case requires.

FAQ

Questions from civil counsel

Do you work for plaintiffs or defendants?

Both. We accept retention from plaintiff and defense counsel in civil matters, and the analysis is the same either way.

Can phone records prove a driver was texting?

Carrier records can show whether texts were sent or received and whether data sessions were active around the time of a crash. On their own they don't always show whether the driver was physically interacting with the phone. Device extraction artifacts and vehicle data can often fill that gap. An early review tells you what the available records can and can't establish.

How soon should we request phone records?

As early as possible. Carriers retain different record types for different periods, and some data may be kept for a limited time. Early involvement helps make sure the right records are preserved and requested.
