1. A mobile computing device, comprising:

  • one or more processors;

    one or more hardware memory units; and

    one or more network interfaces,wherein the mobile computing device is configured to access and employ the hardware memory units and processors to;

    receive, via the one or more network interfaces and via a wireless communication network, an accident detection and recovery application;

    execute the accident detection and recovery application, executing the accident detection and recovery application including executing computer-readable instructions to;

    receive current location and time data from a Global Positioning System (GPS) associated with the mobile device;

    determine, using at least one of;

    movement sensors and location sensors within the mobile computing device, that the mobile computing device is within a vehicle that was involved in an accident;

    determine, based at least on data received from the at least one of the movement sensors and the location sensors, one or more accident characteristics associated with the accident;

    determine at least one of a type of potential damages or an amount of potential damages associated with the accident, based on the accident characteristics, determining the at least one of a type of potential damages or an amount of potential damages associated with the accident including;

    comparing the accident characteristics to a plurality of predetermined impact types and speed thresholds;

    identifying an impact type and speed threshold corresponding to the accident characteristics; and

    determining the at least one of a type of potential damages or an amount of potential damages based on the identified impact type and speed threshold;

    determine, based on the identified impact type and speed threshold, a part of a body of one or more occupants of the vehicle to evaluate for injury; and

    generate and display an accident recovery user interface on the mobile computing device, the accident recovery user interface including recommendations based on the determined type or amount of potential damages and recommendations based on the determined part of the body of the one or more occupants of the vehicle to evaluate for injury, the recommendations based on the determined part of the body of the one or more occupants of the vehicle to evaluate for injury including a medical care facility and further being based on the location and current time data received from the GPS.
