When you need to know . . .
 
What was the level of force acting on the vehicle occupants at
impact?
Was the force sufficient to cause the injuries claimed in this
case?
Could the vehicle damages claimed actually have occurred from
the impact between these two vehicles?

for involved vehicles
Comparison of delta-V’s with crash test data and established
injury threshold criteria

claimed
Preparation of a fully detailed written report to include:
Scope of assignment and investigation details
Results of analysis and engineering evaluation
Mounting and summary of photographs

| Having
completed more than 2000 low-velocity vehicle accident
investigations, we are very aware that one of the most
prevalent fraud schemes is the claiming of bodily injury
when little or no damage appears on the vehicles
involved. Our ACTAR certified vehicle accident
reconstructionist investigates the file data (including
vehicle photos, damage repair estimates, descriptions of
injuries, police reports, and witness statements) to
determine the forces involved, provide an alignment
diagram of the vehicles at impact, and render our
opinion regarding the authenticity of the claimed
damages and the likelihood of injuries as claimed.
