Accident Reconstruction

Car Accident Reconstruction

The following 10 steps briefly summarize the procedure for investigating and reconstructing an automobile accident, even though not all steps are performed in each accident case:

LawFX provides unparalleled crash analysis and accident reconstruction services, including 3D modeling, full-scale reconstruction testing, and rapid response - including electronic data retrieval, drone imaging, and laser scanning using the latest equipment and methodologies.

Skid marks, yaw marks, fluid stains, vehicle debris, and gouge marks on pavement are often left on the roadway because of the accident.

An accident reconstruction expert witness should have a strong understanding of accident reconstruction methodology and techniques, combined with excellent communication and report writing skills, to effectively present their findings in court.

Understand emerging technologies in transportation and address existing and future regulatory requirements.

The accident scene is measured / surveyed to provide a scaled drawing of the roadway evidence. This process is called scene mapping.

Accident Reconstruction Experts

Accident reconstruction expert witnesses may be required in cases involving car accidents, aviation accidents, train accidents, and other incidents where the cause and circumstances of the accident need to be determined.

Vehicles are inspected and analyzed to determine how vehicles collided, determine vehicle speeds, and check for defects that might have contributed to the accident.

An accident reconstruction expert witness reviews various types of evidence such as police reports, witness statements, photographs, videos, and physical evidence to determine the cause and sequence of events leading to the accident.

Accident Reconstruction Animations

Most vehicles today have a black box (Event Data Recorder) which records information such as speed, throttle position, braking, seat belt usage prior to and during a crash event.

We investigate incidents involving all vehicles, whether on wheels, tracks, or rail, to provide insights into the cause and the sequence of events.

Accident reconstruction expert witnesses may charge anywhere from $150 to $400 or more per hour, depending on such factors as their level of expertise, knowledge, location, and availability. The exact fee is negotiated between the expert and the attorney involved in the case.

We put together and use these pieces of information to reconstruct the car accident. Other information, such as signage, traffic signals, and traffic control devices are shown on the drawing.

For 50+ years, we've thrived on solving unstructured problems that require bespoke solutions. Some of our services include:

Our experts take a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that we're examining your challenges from every angle.

Accident Recreation Animation

Accident scenes provide roadway evidence needed for reconstruction of the accident. Many times skid marks, yaw marks, fluid stains, vehicle debris, and gouge marks on pavement are left on the roadway and painted / flagged by police officers.

Our global and comprehensive expertise across industries gives us a deep understanding of current challenges, best industry practices, and the implications of emerging technologies.

LawFX engineers provide detailed, evidence-based analyses of complex motor vehicle collisions, accident investigations, and incidents involving heavy equipment and machinery on or off-road. We convey our findings with clear and powerful demonstratives, including well-documented reports, presentations, and animations so that our clients understand the methodology and basis for our conclusions and are equipped to communicate the findings to less technical audiences.
