The application of science to the study of physical motions and forces, and their effect on human anatomy and physiology. Specializing in the analysis and reconstruction of automobile accidents occurring at low to moderate speed in the form of rear-end, frontal, side (T-bone), or sideswipe collision to quantify the severity of the incident in terms of velocity and/or acceleration changes of a vehicle and the occupant(s). The potential for injury is then examined and explained. Our Biomechanical Expertise also includes evaluating causation of workers compensation accidents, commercial/mass transit vehicular accidents, recreational accidents, safety equipment analysis, product & premise liability and medical device design and failure analysis.
Accident Reconstruction
• Private Passenger
• Commercial Trucking
• Pedestrian Incidents
• Motorcycle Crashes
• Line of Sight Investigations
• Vehicle & Site Inspections
• EDR Retrieval & Analysis
+ LEARN MORE
How did the accident happen? Who was at fault? Undertaking the proper investigation into the accident to answer these questions, involves reconstructing the accident through inspecting and documenting the scene, vehicles involved, and interviewing the parties, witnesses, investigating officer(s) and securing the evidence to ensure accurate conclusions are formulated as to cause of the accident.
Marine Investigations
• Pleasure Boats & Watercraft Accident Reconstruction
• Fall-in Vessel Incidents
• Fall-Over Vessel Incidents
• Scaled Diagraming & CAD Software Application
• Criminal & Civil Incidents
• Who Was Driving
• Navigation Rules Interpretation
• Federal & State Boating Law Compliance
• Vessel Operator Certification and or License Background Checks & Inquiries
• Courtroom Testimony
+ LEARN MORE
Accidents involving small pleasure watercrafts are fundamentally different from accidents involving motor vehicles. Investigations determine the circumstances and the causes of the accident with the aim of improving the safety and avoidance of accidents in the future. Findings of the investigation can assist in determining who was at fault or whether certain boating law compliance was followed or violated.
