Accident Investigation & Crash Reconstruction

Crash Reconstruction

Complete Crash Reconstruction for passenger and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, watercraft and recreational vehicles.

Accident Crash Reconstruction is the scientific process of investigating, analyzing, and drawing conclusions about the causes and events during a vehicle collision.

Crash Reconstructionists conduct in-depth collision analysis and reconstruction to identify the contributing factors in different types of collisions, including the role of the driver(s), vehicle(s), roadway and the environment. The laws of physics and engineering principles such as the conservation of linear momentum, work-energy methods, and kinematics are the basis for these analyses.

After an accident, there are many questions that require answers.

  • Speeds at Impact
  • Impact location
  • Damage consistency
  • Distance & Time Analysis
  • Crush Damage Determination
  • Black Box Downloads
  • Reaction Distances

Utilizing the physical data collected from the accident scene, momentum and energy formulas solve the trajectories, speeds, time, distances of each vehicle involved in the accident to complete the reconstruction.
