Vehicle Accident Reconstruction

When you need to know . . .

How fast were the vehicles traveling just prior to the collision?
Was either party acting improperly?
What was the actual cause of the accident – mechanical failure, tire failure, roadway design, driver error?
Can subrogation be successfully pursued in this case?

Did You Know?

Our ACTAR certified vehicle accident reconstructionist accurately reconstructs the facts in single and multiple automobile, commercial vehicle, and trucking accidents. We can determine vehicle speeds prior to a collision, to who ran the red light (or was otherwise responsible for the accident). With court-approved software technology, we are now able to reconstruct accidents by either inspecting the accident scene and the involved vehicles, or from photographs of the vehicles and the accident scene, or a combination of both. Advanced technology now enables us to completely reconstruct vehicle accidents without actually having to personally inspect the vehicles or visit the scene of the accident!
