Reckless Driver - Traffic Accident Expert

Reckless driving charges can arise from various factors, depending on jurisdictional regulations. Such charges typically involve a driver flagrantly disregarding traffic laws and operating a vehicle in a manner that poses significant safety risks, potentially resulting in traffic accidents or property damage.


Speed Measurement Device Analysis for Reckless Driving Cases

When a driver is suspected of traveling at excessive speeds—potentially qualifying as reckless driving under applicable laws, law enforcement officials such as police officers, state troopers, or deputies determine the calculated  speed. To support these cases, engaging a qualified expert in speed measurement technologies is recommended.


This expert will conduct a comprehensive review of the case file, request any additional relevant information such as discovery, and examine the incident location. They will collect and analyze all available data, assist in trial preparation, and, if necessary, provide expert testimony. Their expertise should include knowledge of various speed measurement devices, including radar, laser, lidar, pacing, Vascar, and gap timing, as used by law enforcement on the date of the incident.


Traffic Accident Reconstruction Expertise for Reckless Driving Incidents

In cases where a traffic accident occurs at high speed, as documented by law enforcement, and reckless driving is suspected, hiring a qualified accident reconstruction specialist—typically an engineer is advisable. This expert can recreate the accident scenario using available data to determine the vehicle's velocity at the time of impact, regardless of initial speed assessments.


The expert should thoroughly review all relevant case documentation, request additional discovery if needed, analyze the accident scene, gather pertinent data, and assist with trial preparation. They will also provide expert witness testimony in court. Their expertise should encompass vehicle dynamics, accident scene analysis, and geographic context relevant to the incident.
