Unlock the clarity and confidence that comes from our expertise across dozens of scientific and engineering disciplines.
Vehicles are inspected and analyzed to determine how vehicles collided, determine vehicle speeds, and check for defects that might have contributed to the accident.
See how our experts foster connections between technical disciplines and industries to deliver breakthrough insights.
Our multidisciplinary teams - made up of vehicle, mechanical, electrical, and material engineers and scientists in biomechanics, data, thermal, and human factors practices - analyze on-road and off-road accidents, as well as incidents involving product failures or alleged product failures.
Measurements are taken at the scene so that an accident scene diagram can be prepared, showing site-specific conditions. This information is imperative in determining the point of impact and point of final rest of the vehicles, which can be used to draw conclusions on how the accident happened and calculate the speed of the vehicles.
The accident scene is measured / surveyed to provide a scaled drawing of the roadway evidence. This process is called scene mapping.
We have unparalleled experience, capabilities, tools, and methods in accident reconstruction and analysis, including rapid response incident data collection, state-of-the-art reconstruction analysis, simulation and animation services, and full-scale reconstruction testing.
Engineers and traffic accident reconstructionists analyze accident reconstruction. We analyze collisions for speed, position of vehicles on the roadway and identifying the driver. We use the latest technology such as HVE simulation, animations and the Crash Data Retrieval system by LawFX.
LawFX's geographically distributed team of experts provides rapid response services to document and preserve evidence from involved vehicles and the incident site using the latest equipment and methodologies, including drones (UAV) drones, 3D laser scanners, and software tools to collect electronic vehicle data related to crash events.
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.
The role of an accident reconstruction expert witness is to provide an analysis of the events that led to an accident. This analysis is based on the examination of the evidence, including the police report, the vehicles involved, and the scene of the accident.
Another significant part of the accident scene investigation is determining if the roadway contributed to the cause of the accident. We inspected the roadway for safety concerns such as a lack of traffic control devices and signage, lack of roadway maintenance, limited sight distance, lack of roadway maintenance, poor lighting, poor roadway design, poor stormwater drainage and other roadway defects.
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.
Our experts take a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that we're examining your challenges from every angle.
Witness statements and expert testimony can assist the re-constructionist in determining how or why the accident happened. These documents are reviewed and considered when forming conclusions. Accident reconstruction is looking at all the data available.
With expertise in over 90 disciplines and hundreds of capabilities, tools, and methodologies - we get to the root of even the most complex challenges and give you the objective answers you need.
Skid marks, yaw marks, fluid stains, vehicle debris, and gouge marks on pavement are often left on the roadway because of the accident.
Our teams provide technically superior accident reconstruction analyses and clearly and effectively communicate our findings. Our consultants apply the appropriate methodologies for the situation and provide in-depth technical solutions. These methodologies include computer simulation, animation, and full-scale crash testing. The experience gained from over 50 years of testing and research programs at LawFX gives us unique technical knowledge and insight to provide rigorous scientific analyses to evaluate vehicle dynamics, impacts, and occupant kinematics.
Get definitive, science-based answers to your most important 'why,' 'how,' and 'what if' and see how LawFX works differently.
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:
We investigate incidents involving all vehicles, whether on wheels, tracks, or rail, to provide insights into the cause and the sequence of events.
