Abstract
A method for detecting events occurring during operation of a vehicle includes monitoring a plurality of variables during operation of the vehicle via an installed device fixedly attached to the vehicle. The method further includes receiving indications of the plurality of variables from the installed device at a mobile device and analyzing the received indications of the plurality of variables to detect if an accident involving the vehicle has occurred. Still further, the method includes, upon detecting the event, transmitting an indication that the accident has occurred and at least some of the indications of the plurality of variables to an entity outside the vehicle and receiving an insurance claim associated with the accident from the entity outside the vehicle.
