Accident Reconstruction

Our multi-disciplinary approach to accident reconstruction ensures that clients have all the facts to make an informed decision regarding their case.

We start with a detail-oriented investigation of the evidence and apply sound engineering principles using state-of-the-art techniques to analyse a collision. Our wealth of experience ensures that all of the relevant human, vehicle and environmental factors have been considered in assessing the cause and severity of a motor vehicle accident.

An accident or collision reconstruction may involve some or all of the following:

  • Photographic documentation
  • Survey of roadway & scene evidence
  • EDR or ‘Black Box’ downloads
  • Measure & scan vehicle damage
  • Determination of seatbelt use
  • Mechanical inspection of vehicle
  • Assessment of roadway & signage
  • Visibility & lighting studies
  • Roadway friction testing
  • Failure analysis of parts
  • Computer crash simulations
  • Human factor & avoidance analysis
  • Biomechanical assessment of injury
  • Expert testimony at trial

In our many years of practice, we have investigated collisions involving the following:

  • Automobiles, light trucks & vans
  • Pedestrians, bicycles & motorcycles
  • Heavy trucks & tractor-trailers

  • ATVs, snowmobiles, go karts & watercraft
  • Buses, streetcars & trains
  • Farm & construction equipment
