Collision Investigation and Reconstruction

Collision Reconstructions are intensive investigations to determine all of the causative factors leading up to the actual collision, inclusive of all injuries and/or fatalities, and human factors associated with the crash.  A traffic crash investigation / reconstruction critically analyses the pre-collision, collision, and post-collision phases of a crash.  In this type of investigation, the overriding objective is to find the crash evidence, and use it to determine the cause(s) for the collision.

A traffic crash investigation / reconstruction may contain the following elements:

• Roadway Environmental Report
• Driver Profiles
• Physical Evidence Analysis and Scene Diagram
• Vehicle Damage Description and Analysis
• Vehicle Dynamics Diagram
• Causation Analysis
• Print, Digital, and / or Video Documentation
• Occupant Kinematics Analysis
• Autopsy and Injury Analysis / Description
• Speed and Energy Calculations
• Time-Distance Studies and Diagram
• Conclusions, Recommendations and Opinions
