ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION & MECHANICAL FAILURE ANALYSIS

Collision

Our forensic engineers reconstruct collisions and mechanical failures to identify the sequence of events, contributing factors, and conditions leading up to an incident.

Through detailed examination of vehicle movement, roadway evidence, visibility conditions, electronic data, and mechanical systems, we establish how a crash occurred and the factors that influenced it.
