Accident Investigation

When an accident occurs and sustained injuries lead to litigation, there are several avenues an attorney may pursue to prove blameworthiness, leading to redress for their injured client.

Accident Reconstruction

The attorney may seek to hire an accident reconstruction expert who can look at factors including the physical evidence found at the scene, eyewitness and police reports, injuries sustained and the damaged vehicles to help determine the cause of the accident.

Digital Forensics

Digital evidence is another resource that can be helpful in determining what contributed to an accident. A digital forensics expert may be hired to look at the crash data found in the vehicle’s black box, this gives information such as the vehicle’s pre- and post-crash speeds, whether the brakes were engaged, or the airbag deployed etc.

Additionally, since distracted driving accounts for 15% of injury crashes, cell phone forensics can be a valuable resource in determining what happened moments leading up to the accident. Our Cell Phone Forensics Experts can look at call data records or apply text message retrieval techniques to determine if the driver was talking or texting before the crash.

Commercial Trucking | Transportation Safety

An attorney may also rely on a Commercial Trucking or Transportation Safety Expert who is well-versed in regulatory compliance. Compliance can be key in determining whether the driver should have been operating a vehicle in the first place, whether the accident was preventable, and more.
