Accident Reconstruction

Accident Reconstruction is a multi-disciplinary field that studies the factors contributing to the cause and severity of a motor vehicle accident. It generally involves:

  1. Documenting, collecting and interpreting physical evidence from an accident,
  2. Applying engineering and scientific principles to analyse accident dynamics,
  3. Assessing human, vehicle and environmental factors pertaining to an accident.
