Abstract
Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly detecting a vehicle accident occurrence based on a generated accident suspicion. An accident detection system can retrieve a myriad of information as data relating to a driver or a vehicle of the driver. The retrieved information can be assessed to determine assignment of a suspicion of a vehicle accident occurrence. The suspicion assignment can be based on, with respect to historical insurance data, predetermined thresholds and/or machine learning for the retrieved information. The retrieved information can be verified by auxiliary data remote from the driver or the vehicle of the driver. The accident detection system can verify the suspicion by dispatching one or more notifications to the driver, and in the absence of response, determine whether the suspicion is true via the collection of information for a suspected location of the accident or from individuals associated with the driver.
