Accident Reconstruction
Too many collisions that result in significant civil liability are never thoroughly investigated by law enforcement, unless criminal charges are expected to be filed. Often there are no criminal charges expected, or in some cases only a traffic infraction, so a thorough investigation is never conducted. Added to this is the simple fact that most law enforcement officers are not properly trained and ill-prepared to conduct a detailed investigation, particularly when a commercial vehicle is involved.

A thorough investigation and reconstruction can limit your liability resulting from a collision. Among the items that can be revealed by a thorough investigation are false statements and injury claims by involved parties, false claims of damage as well as poor roadway design and environmental issues that contributed to, or precipitated the collision. It takes experience to identify and properly document these issues.

Among the services we can provide:
• At-scene investigations
• Scene mapping utilizing total station technology
• 3-dimensional scale diagrams of the scene
• Photography and video
• Line-of-sight analysis
• Time-distance analysis
• SDM (airbag module) downloads
• Damage profiles and analysis of vehicles using photogrammetry
• Vehicle examinations and inspections
We can generally have a team out to the scene of a collision within hours, while the evidence is still fresh on the roadway and the collision is still fresh in witnesses’ minds.
