Reconstruction Of Accident

Accident Reconstruction Animations

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.

Data drives the future of the transportation industry, informing vehicle design and development, as well as documenting driver inputs and vehicle dynamics in accident scenarios. LawFX collects, synthesizes, and interprets vehicle and environment data to inform our unparalleled reconstruction analyses and to evaluate the effects of automotive design and performance on incident circumstances.

Whereas, commercial vehicles (i.e. tractor trailers) have an electronic control module (ECM) data which features much of the same data as a black box as well as diagnostic information for repairs and mechanical problems.

Quantify product performance, analyze system and component failures, and address claims of defects.

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

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

Car Accident Reconstruction

Crush damage and paint transfer can determine how the vehicles came into contact with one another. Crush damage can determine the amount of force applied to the vehicle and determine a change in velocity (delta-V).

When vehicle accidents or mobility device incidents occur, a scenario demonstration can provide visual evidence to explain the root cause of failure and demonstrate the events leading up to an accident. LawFX engineers have extensive experience in the analysis of single- and multi-vehicle accidents and apply the latest technology, including measurement tools such as 3D laser scanners, and software tools to collect electronic data stored in vehicles. Our accident reconstruction expertise includes passenger vehicles, heavy trucks and commercial vehicles, off-highway equipment motorcycles, bicycles, off-road recreational vehicles, rail vehicles and pedestrians.

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.

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.

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.

Initially, a forensic engineer or accident reconstructionist will gather all the facts together, such as police reports, photographs of vehicles and the accident scene taken by third parties, witness statements, 911 recordings, autopsy reports and other pertinent information.

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.

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.

An accident reconstruction expert is someone who uses their knowledge of physics and engineering to analyze how a collision occurred. They can determine things like the speed of the vehicles involved, the angle of impact, and whether or not the use of lights and turn signals could have prevented 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 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.
