RECONSTRUCTION

No two collisions are the same. Identifying the circumstances that led to a collision can be a complex process, requiring an understanding of vehicle dynamics, occupant kinematics, and driver perception/response. Whether the collision occurs on a busy highway or off-road, our team of forensic engineers that specializes in collision reconstruction can quickly assess the circumstances of an incident to determine the cause and the actions that precipitated it.

WE LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED

Vehicle collisions can have serious consequences for passengers and drivers alike, resulting in injuries and liabilities. Collision reconstruction is the evaluation of vehicular motion before, during, and after a collision: when a collision is being reconstructed, contributing factors including perception/response to hazards, mechanical issues, occupant kinematics, and vehicle dynamics are all assessed.

With the advent of event data recorders, the information retained by our vehicles during these incidents is always changing – our experts know how to collect all the relevant information, as well as how to interpret it, to help you understand the circumstances that led up to the incident.

ANSWERS ARE EVERYTHING

Answers are everything in a collision. Details, conflicting information, emotions: understanding the circumstances surrounding a collision is a complicated process that requires professional intervention.

Both from a liability and quantum perspective, there are often many questions that arise. Who did what, and when? Could someone have done something different that would have changed the outcome? Could the accident have been avoided? Are the reported injuries related to this collision? CEP sifts through the details to provide clear answers that help you resolve the bigger and broader questions about the incident, allowing you to manage your position effectively.

Frequently asked questions on collision reconstruction

Want to know more about collision reconstruction? Here is a list of our most commonly asked questions

What is collision reconstruction?

Collision reconstruction is a scientific process that aims to determine the cause or sequence of events of a collision. When a collision occurs, reconstruction experts may be called upon to analyze all available information, including physical evidence, eyewitness accounts, and additional contributing factors in order to provide a clear picture of what occurred before, during, and after the event.

What is the role of a collision reconstruction engineer?

Collision reconstruction engineers are highly trained professionals that employ various scientific methods and technologies to ascertain the cause of a collision. They also possess the necessary expertise to testify in court. Accident reconstruction experts go through several steps in order to determine causation. This includes reviewing documentation and information collected by attending officers, aerial mapping, and examining the scene, the vehicle(s) involved, and crash data retrieval (if any). They then document their findings in a final report.

What type of collisions do reconstruction experts investigate?

Collision reconstruction experts investigate vehicle accidents that occur on or off roadways. These accidents might involve pedestrians, stationary objects, or other vehicles. This includes all motorized means of transportation, from cars and motorcycles to commercial vehicles or off highway vehicles (OHVs) such as quads, side-by-sides or dirt bikes. Investigations involving commercial vehicles require specialized training because they possess different characteristics than the average automobile.

How long does collision reconstruction take?

Since no two cases are alike, it is impossible to provide a definitive investigation timeline. The circumstances surrounding these types of events can be complex, requiring a thorough analysis of the forensic evidence, as well as possible eyewitness interviews, in order to provide an accurate report.
