Accident Reconstruction Expert Witness

Accident reconstruction experts apply physics, vehicle dynamics, event data recorder (EDR) interpretation, sightline analysis, and crush-energy methods to estimate speeds, impact configurations, and avoidability. They reconcile conflicting witness accounts with tire marks, debris fields, and damage profiles to produce opinions that survive scrutiny when liability turns on a few miles per hour or feet of clearance.

Personal injury and wrongful death matters involving intersection crashes, lane changes, pedestrian strikes, commercial vehicle underride, motorcycle loss-of-control, and low-speed parking-lot impacts routinely turn on reconstruction. UM/UIM disputes and criminal parallel proceedings also benefit when a single coherent technical narrative is needed for civil damages.

Specialized subspecialties include heavy-truck brake and hours-of-service analysis, motorcycle kinematics, nighttime visibility and conspicuity, and human factors in perception-reaction time. Using an expert whose publications and casework align with the collision type reduces the risk of generic “formula” opinions that opposing counsel can dismantle on cross.
