Accident Reconstruction
Our accident reconstruction experts have experience investigating marine, construction, agricultural, and ground transportation vehicle accidents. Using the latest technology—including 3D laser scanners and event data recording software—we analyze collision dynamics, pre- and post-impact speeds, collision avoidance, time and distance, vehicle lighting, and visibility to accurately reconstruct the scene and event in-house.
Our licensed Professional Engineers (PEs) provide accident reconstruction, component failure analysis, and expert testimony for vehicle accidents. We determine the truth about cause and liability, so you have the information you need to make qualified decisions after an accident or failure. We pride ourselves on our experience and technical competence. With over 30 years of combined accident reconstruction experience and more than 100 expert testimonies conducted, we’re uniquely qualified to determine the cause of your vehicle accident and provide a trustworthy expert testimony.
