Abstract
A computer-implemented method of determining an indication of whether a vehicle in a crash is a total loss. The method may include (1) receiving (i) image data, (ii) sensor data, and/or (iii) telematics or other data indicative of a direction of a crash force; (2) determining a type of geographic area in which the crash occurred; (3) determining a make, a model, and/or a year of the vehicle; and (4) determining the indication of whether the vehicle is a total loss based upon (i) (a) the image data, (b) the sensor data, and/or (c) the data indicative of the direction of the crash force, (ii) the type of geographic area, and (iii) the make, the model, and/or the year of the vehicle. By determining the indication of whether the vehicle is a total loss based upon such data and/or factors, time may be saved and resources may be conserved.
