Accident Reconstruction involves identifying and evaluating the contributing factors of motor vehicle collisions and events relating to personal injury. At Collision Reconstruction Consulting, our qualified accident reconstruction experts provide explanations of how a transportation incident could have occurred – based on analyzing evidence, applying accepted scientific techniques and published research, and testing.

In our crash reconstruction investigations, we often examine the involved vehicles, inspect and document physical evidence remaining at the accident site, analyze photographs of the collision aftermath, review property damage/repair estimates, and perform robust calculations. For example, in calculating vehicle speeds, we measure the amount of crush damage sustained to the vehicles and measure the length of tire marks (if there were any). We then use these measurements and commonly-accepted reconstruction techniques to estimate the vehicle speed. If available, we download EDR crash-related and on-board electronic data from passenger vehicles and data from the engine control module of trucks, which may be a valuable piece of evidence in support of a reconstruction. Collision Reconstruction Consulting experts have specialized training to download and analyze EDR and ECM data. Our Accident Reconstruction expert in Los Angeles is also experienced in performing computer simulations to analyze the motion of vehicles before, during, and after a collision.
