About Injury Sciences LLC

Injury Sciences LLC is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and is the leader in engineering-based expert systems for claims. The company's flagship product, WrExpert, was initially released in October 1998 and is now an Internet-based expert system. WrExpert evaluates the severity of specific automobile collisions and numerous other accident characteristics by analyzing damage repair estimate information, damage profiles of vehicles involved in a collision and, now, automobile black box data. WrExpert is the first claims application to evaluate the potential for a variety of injuries for those automobile accidents identified as minor collisions and provide engineering-based diagnostics of negligence/liability factors.

Injury Sciences also offers EDR InSight, the first and only solution designed for claims professionals to facilitate their use of automotive Event Data Recorder (EDR) or "black box" data in claims evaluations. With EDR InSight, claims professionals can quickly identify which automobiles have harvestable "black box" information and what types of EDR information are available in specific vehicles. EDR InSight also offers access to a network of service providers through the United States who are equipped with a Vetronix Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) system to harvest the "black box" information and a secure data vault for these providers to transmit and store the information for secure viewing by the claims professionals. EDR InSight also gives claims professionals access to analysis tools to derive what happened in an accident.
