Unlock the clarity and confidence that comes from our expertise across dozens of scientific and engineering disciplines.
An accident reconstruction expert witness should have a strong understanding of accident reconstruction methodology and techniques, combined with excellent communication and report writing skills, to effectively present their findings in court.
The accident scene is measured / surveyed to provide a scaled drawing of the roadway evidence. This process is called scene mapping.
Crush damage and paint transfer can determine how the vehicles came into contact with one another. Crush damage can determine the amount of force applied to the vehicle and determine a change in velocity (delta-V).
We investigate incidents involving all vehicles, whether on wheels, tracks, or rail, to provide insights into the cause and the sequence of events.
Our experts take a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that we're examining your challenges from every angle.
LawFX's geographically distributed team of experts provides rapid response services to document and preserve evidence from involved vehicles and the incident site using the latest equipment and methodologies, including drones (UAV) drones, 3D laser scanners, and software tools to collect electronic vehicle data related to crash events.
Vehicles are inspected and analyzed to determine how vehicles collided, determine vehicle speeds, and check for defects that might have contributed to the accident.
Our multidisciplinary teams - made up of vehicle, mechanical, electrical, and material engineers and scientists in biomechanics, data, thermal, and human factors practices - analyze on-road and off-road accidents, as well as incidents involving product failures or alleged product failures.
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.
With expertise in over 90 disciplines and hundreds of capabilities, tools, and methodologies - we get to the root of even the most complex challenges and give you the objective answers you need.
We put together and use these pieces of information to reconstruct the car accident. Other information, such as signage, traffic signals, and traffic control devices are shown on the drawing.
Accident scenes provide roadway evidence needed for reconstruction of the accident. Many times skid marks, yaw marks, fluid stains, vehicle debris, and gouge marks on pavement are left on the roadway and painted / flagged by police officers.
For 50+ years, we've thrived on solving unstructured problems that require bespoke solutions. Some of our services include:
Engineers and traffic accident reconstructionists analyze accident reconstruction. We analyze collisions for speed, position of vehicles on the roadway and identifying the driver. We use the latest technology such as HVE simulation, animations and the Crash Data Retrieval system by LawFX.
Whereas, commercial vehicles (i.e. tractor trailers) have an electronic control module (ECM) data which features much of the same data as a black box as well as diagnostic information for repairs and mechanical problems.
Measurements are taken at the scene so that an accident scene diagram can be prepared, showing site-specific conditions. This information is imperative in determining the point of impact and point of final rest of the vehicles, which can be used to draw conclusions on how the accident happened and calculate the speed of the vehicles.
We have unparalleled experience, capabilities, tools, and methods in accident reconstruction and analysis, including rapid response incident data collection, state-of-the-art reconstruction analysis, simulation and animation services, and full-scale reconstruction testing.
Initially, a forensic engineer or accident reconstructionist will gather all the facts together, such as police reports, photographs of vehicles and the accident scene taken by third parties, witness statements, 911 recordings, autopsy reports and other pertinent information.
LawFX provides unparalleled crash analysis and accident reconstruction services, including 3D modeling, full-scale reconstruction testing, and rapid response - including electronic data retrieval, drone imaging, and laser scanning using the latest equipment and methodologies.
LawFX offers a range of services including forensic animations, trial graphics, accident reconstruction, industrial case animations, medical malpractice media, work injury cases, oil & gas legal animations, and more.
LawFX is a division of Industrial3D, specializing in creating scientifically accurate legal animations and litigation graphics. They provide visual aids like motion graphics and 3D simulations for legal proceedings, including trials, mediations, and appellate proceedings.
LawFX employs a team of experts who use the latest technology to craft meticulous and scientifically accurate visual aids, ensuring every nuance of a case is accurately represented.
