Crash Reconstruction
Crash Reconstruction is the scientific process of
investigating, analyzing, and drawing conclusions about the
causes and events during a vehicle collision.
Reconstructionists are employed to conduct in-depth
collision analyses and reconstruction to identify the collision
causation and contributing factors in different types of
collisions, including the role of the driver(s), vehicle(s),
roadway and the environment.
The laws of physics and engineering principles such as the
conservation of linear momentum, work-energy methods, and
kinematics are the basis for these analysis and may make use
of software to calculate useful quantities.
The crash reconstruction provides rigorous analysis that an
expert witness can present at trial. Crash reconstructions are
conducted in cases involving fatalities, and often when
personal injury is involved. Results from crash
reconstructions are also useful in developing
recommendations for making roads and highways safer, as
well as improving safety aspects of motor vehicle designs.
