Accident Reconstruction Expert Near Me

An accident reconstruction expert is someone who uses their knowledge of physics and engineering to analyze how a collision occurred. They can determine things like the speed of the vehicles involved, the angle of impact, and whether or not the use of lights and turn signals could have prevented the accident.

The following 10 steps briefly summarize the procedure for investigating and reconstructing an automobile accident, even though not all steps are performed in each accident case:

Our teams provide technically superior accident reconstruction analyses and clearly and effectively communicate our findings. Our consultants apply the appropriate methodologies for the situation and provide in-depth technical solutions. These methodologies include computer simulation, animation, and full-scale crash testing. The experience gained from over 50 years of testing and research programs at LawFX gives us unique technical knowledge and insight to provide rigorous scientific analyses to evaluate vehicle dynamics, impacts, and occupant kinematics.

When vehicle accidents or mobility device incidents occur, a scenario demonstration can provide visual evidence to explain the root cause of failure and demonstrate the events leading up to an accident. LawFX engineers have extensive experience in the analysis of single- and multi-vehicle accidents and apply the latest technology, including measurement tools such as 3D laser scanners, and software tools to collect electronic data stored in vehicles. Our accident reconstruction expertise includes passenger vehicles, heavy trucks and commercial vehicles, off-highway equipment motorcycles, bicycles, off-road recreational vehicles, rail vehicles and pedestrians.

The role of an accident reconstruction expert witness is to provide an analysis of the events that led to an accident. This analysis is based on the examination of the evidence, including the police report, the vehicles involved, and the scene of the accident.
