Collision Sciences

Vehicle black-box data for insurance claims investigation and fraud detection

Claims Technology Growth Bootstrapped

Overview

Collision Sciences is a claims technology provider for insurance carriers that delivers vehicle Event Data Recorder (EDR) data -- commonly called black-box data -- to support claims investigation, fraud detection, and liability assessment on motor vehicle losses.

The company's core platform, CrashScan, is a mobile-app-based tool that retrieves pre-crash data from a vehicle's OBD-II port and transmits it to a cloud analytics platform for processing. The solution supports automated detection across more than 5,000 vehicle models and includes hardware, user training, technician certification, customizable reporting, and engineering technical support. This approach makes EDR data collection accessible across a broad range of claims at a fraction of the cost of traditional forensic investigation services.

Collision Sciences operates as a bootstrapped, privately held company and has established a strategic integration with Duck Creek Technologies, making CrashScan data available to carriers using Duck Creek's SaaS-based claims platform through the Duck Creek Content Exchange. The company serves insurance carriers and fleet-managing corporations seeking to improve claim outcomes and reduce losses through objective vehicle data.
