Crash Reconstruction

Crash reconstruction is the process of using scientific methodology to determine the circumstances, mechanics, and contributing factors associated with a collision. It requires a working knowledge of many disciplines including physics, vehicle dynamics, mathematics, photogrammetry, and computer applications.  Questions relative to vehicle speed at impact, speed loss during braking, or the angle at which two objects collided, can be answered by the reconstructionist after thorough evaluation of available information, such as scene inspections, examining all of the vehicles involved in the collision, and the collecting of evidence, to include scene photographs, video of the collision, measurements of the scene, forensic evidence, eyewitness testimony, autopsy reports and legal depositions.

Having the knowledge and ability to interpret the evidence and conceptualize the event is crucial to reconstructing any crash. We have spent over 30 years investigating crashes on scene first hand, from minor collisions to multi-vehicle fatalities. At Beyond the Shield, we possess the training, experience and tools to accomplish this critical task.
