The article covers the problem of verifying vehicle crashes with the use of research procedures referred to as the SDC method. Performing research following that procedure facilitates verifying the crashes of vehicles which result in damage to the car body and elements of the vehicle, infrastructure in terms of extortion of undue damages. Simplifications in the process of vehicle damage claim management lead to potential abuses and more and more sophisticated extortion methods require a development and improvement of engineering tools to verify the claims notified. To facilitate the SDC method analysis, there has also been developed a dedicated IT tool automating the decision-making process for verifying the vehicle crashes with the method proposed. The author's research, with actual damage-inflicting incidents, has demonstrated a practical application of the SDC research method and, at the same time, the problem of a lack of effective research procedures in case of frauded damage claims in insurance companies and a lack of verification before such claims are referred to court proceedings.
