Case Studies

For Individuals

MichelleMichelle returned to her EV after work and found the rear bumper had been scraped and dented. The car’s onboard system showed no incident footage. She assumed it was a lost cause—until she heard about EVForensics. After sending us the flash drive, we were able to recover over 60 deleted video segments, including a clip clearly showing a neighboring vehicle scraping hers while backing out. Michelle submitted the evidence to her insurance provider, who was able to identify the at-fault driver and approve a full repair.

DarylDaryl was sideswiped during an aggressive highway encounter. The dashcam footage only showed the moment of impact, with no clear identification of the other driver. Our forensic recovery process retrieved multiple files from earlier in the day, including high-resolution frames of the other vehicle’s license plate—captured long before the incident during a brief stop at a traffic light. This footage helped Daryl file a successful police report and insurance claim.

StephenWhen Stephen began to question the whereabouts of a family member who frequently borrowed their EV, they turned to EVForensics for peace of mind. The car’s dash cam logs had been wiped, but we recovered over 40 segments of time-stamped footage, revealing several trips to a different part of town. With this data, Stephen was able to begin a personal conversation backed by facts, not assumptions.

For Insurance Agencies

After returning to her parked EV and discovering extensive damage to the driver-side door, Alicia found no helpful footage in her dashboard video archive — the files appeared to be missing or deleted. EVForensics recovered earlier timestamped footage showing a delivery van scraping her vehicle and driving off. The recovered video provided irrefutable evidence for her insurance claim and enabled law enforcement to identify the responsible party.

In a congested morning commute, Jason’s EV was rear-ended in a chain-reaction crash involving five vehicles. While police reports were unclear on fault, Jason’s dashcam had overwritten the pre-collision footage. EVForensics retrieved deleted video from the moments leading up to the crash, showing the driver behind him texting before impact. His insurance provider used this footage to successfully dispute liability and expedite his payout.

While investigating a claim, the adjuster received a conflicting account from a third party. The EV’s native storage appeared clean, but our forensic tools recovered tampered footage showing Marcus’s vehicle stationary during the time of the alleged incident. This helped validate his claim and prevented a fraudulent report from impacting his record.

For Law Enforcement

While investigating a hit-and-run involving a pedestrian in a crosswalk, surveillance cameras in the area were inconclusive, and the suspect vehicle had left the scene. A nearby parked EV had no visible footage on its dashboard interface — the owner assumed it had recorded nothing of value. With the owner’s consent, EVForensics performed a forensic recovery on the vehicle’s USB storage. Our process uncovered multiple automatically deleted video segments, including a crucial frame showing the suspect vehicle’s license plate moments before the impact. The footage was securely delivered to the department, aiding their investigation and providing court-admissible evidence.
