Hartford, Connecticut
Digital Forensics Hartford, Connecticut | Insurance, State, and Defense Matters
Hartford's insurance industry and state government create a distinct set of evidence questions: claim photos, recorded statements, agency email, and the paper trail around both.
Begin with a SummaryCapital region
Claims evidence, government records, and criminal defense under one roof.
Insurers, brokers, and the attorneys who work with them rely on digital evidence that is easy to edit and hard to verify: photos of damage, video of an incident, a recorded call, an exported spreadsheet. The question is rarely whether a file exists. It is whether it is what it appears to be and when it was created.
Rune Forensics reviews those materials for metadata, provenance, and signs of alteration. The same discipline applies to the other side of Hartford practice, where defense attorneys and agency counsel need to know what a device or email record can truly show.
Typical requesters
Insurance defense and coverage counsel, special investigations teams, criminal defense attorneys, and civil litigators.
Common questions
Whether claim photos were taken when and where stated, whether a recording is complete, what an email chain establishes, and whether an extraction supports a particular timeline.
Where the practice contributes

Questions
Hartford: questions before you start.
Can a claim photo be shown to have been edited?
Sometimes. Metadata, file structure, and the originating device can indicate editing or reuse, though absence of those signs does not prove authenticity.
Do you act for insurers or for claimants?
The practice can work with attorneys on either side of a dispute, and the standard of analysis is the same.
Can you review a recorded statement?
Yes, as an audio file. Review examines the recording's origin, completeness, and any signs of editing.
How is a state-agency email handled?
Typically through produced records and agreed preservation steps, and with attention to the rules governing the records.
