Vehicle Accident Expert Witness


In an instant, one's life can be altered by a traffic accident. It is the responsibility of a traffic accident expert, specifically an engineer, to ascertain the primary cause of such incidents involving vehicles. 

In the aforementioned video depicting a vehicle accident, an SUV can be observed exhibiting yaw/spin-out based on its positioning. The presence of the second vehicle involved is not discernible in the footage.


Traffic accident crashes causes include:

Human and Vehicle Factors

Distraction While Driving

Distractions

Environmental and Roadway Factors

Systemic Factors

Impaired Driving

Speeding

Physics of Vehicle Motion


Retaining an traffic accident expert can be beneficial for:

1) Challenging inaccurate or misleading reports

2) Establishing the proximate cause of an incident, including but not limited to:

Vehicle Mechanics and Performance



Traffic Accident Reconstruction Expert:

Traffic Accident and Event Data Recorder (EDR) experts encompasses the analysis of critical data such as biomechanical assessments, scaled and aerial imagery, vehicle positions before and after impact, skid and slide mark analysis, friction coefficients, velocity estimations, site evaluations, roadway design issues, defective traffic control devices (including signage and signals), EDR data review, and vehicle inspections. This comprehensive approach is essential for identifying the primary factors contributing to motor vehicle incidents from an engineering standpoint. Additionally, we utilize the Matrix Approach to systematically analyze accident causation.
