Services
Accident Reconstruction
Our team analyzes vehicle collisions using mathematical calculations and physical evidence. We examine car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian incidents to determine causation factors. Services include speed calculations, impact analysis, and occupant trajectory assessments for legal proceedings.
Biomechanics Analysis
We assess injury mechanisms through scientific evaluation of forces acting on the human body. Our experts analyze seatbelt effectiveness, airbag performance, and injury causation patterns. This includes slip/trip analysis and helmet effectiveness studies for court-admissible reports.
Drone Mapping
Our FAA-certified pilots capture high-resolution aerial imagery for accident scene reconstruction. This technology creates precise 3D topographical maps that enhance courtroom presentations and engineering analyses of collision environments.
Crash Data Retrieval
We extract critical data from vehicle event data recorders (EDRs). Our technicians access speed, braking, and seatbelt information from over 40 vehicle manufacturers to reconstruct accident sequences with technical precision.
Simulation Animations
We create scientifically accurate animations using industry-standard software. These visualizations demonstrate accident sequences, occupant motion, and biomechanical forces to support expert testimony and juror comprehension.
