1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving information regarding a vehicle involved in an accident in the computer;
determining, in a processor of the computer, availability of event data recorder (EDR) data from the vehicle based on the information before data collection from the EDR; and
if the EDR data is available, determining in the processor applicability of the EDR data for an investigation of the accident based at least in part on claim information associated with the accident, at least one user-specified criteria with respect to the claim information, the at least one user-specified criteria including a threshold below which a user may not be interested in obtaining the EDR data, and a type of the EDR, and assigning a level of suitability for the data collection from the EDR based at least in part on the type of the EDR and the claim information associated with the accident.

7. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving claim information regarding a claim for an accident involving at least one vehicle and receiving information regarding the vehicle and accident information regarding the accident; determining, in a processor, availability of event data recorder (EDR) data from the vehicle based on the information before data collection from the EDR; and if the EDR data is available, determining in the processor applicability of the EDR data for an investigation of the accident based at least in part on the claim information associated with the accident, at least one user-specified criteria with respect to the claim information, the at least one user-specified criteria including a threshold below which a user may not be interested in obtaining the EDR data, and a type of the EDR, and assigning a level of suitability for the data collection from the EDR based at least in part on the type of the EDR and the claim information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed enable a system to:
-
obtain vehicle information and accident information regarding a vehicle accident in the system; determine, in the system, if event data recorder (EDR) data is available for the vehicle accident based on analysis of the vehicle information and the accident information before data collection from the EDR; and if so, determine applicability of the EDR data based on claim information regarding the vehicle accident and the accident information, at least one user-specified criteria with respect to the claim information, the at least one user-specified criteria including a threshold below which a user may not be interested in obtaining the EDR data, and a type of the EDR, and assign a level of suitability for the data collection from the EDR based at least in part on the type of the EDR and the claim information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
