Thorough scene & vehicle examinations

Scene and vehicle inspections play a vital role in the investigation process. Whilst collisions may have occurred months or years before, a detailed scene examination can still reveal key elements relevant to the investigation. Our site visits often include high-resolution photography, laser scanning, and other state-of-the-art methods. This allows for an accurate visual representation of the scene.

The data we collect during scene examinations enables us to piece together critical factors. This can include the angle of impact, road conditions, visibility constraints, and the position of involved parties at key points. Using this information, our team can construct a comprehensive timeline that clarifies the movements and actions of drivers, pedestrians, and other road users.

Vehicles involved in incidents may lose evidential integrity if not promptly examined. Our investigators conduct thorough vehicle inspections to evaluate aspects such as damage patterns, potential defects, and recalls. It is important to understand not only that a defect is present, but whether it caused or contributed to the collision. We can document vehicle-borne evidence using high-resolution imagery, laser scanning, and undertake visibility and lighting assessments where appropriate.

We can use damage profiles to establish approximate speeds and the interaction between the parties involved in the collision. This is often key in pedestrian impacts, where the interaction between the parties is essential in understanding the mechanics and circumstances of the collision.

Collision investigation and reconstruction

Collision reconstruction involves a meticulous analysis of all available evidence. Our experts use robust techniques to determine the likely movements and speeds of the parties involved, as well as the avoidability of the incident. This process often uncovers crucial details that can influence the outcome of high-value trials and claims. Whether reconstructing a single-vehicle accident or a complex multi-vehicle collision, our team ensures that every detail is thoroughly examined.

By combining technical expertise, advanced reconstruction methods, and a commitment to impartiality, we provide the clarity and support required to navigate even the most challenging cases. Our independent analysis helps clients make informed decisions, whether through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation. We are proud to support our clients with the highest standards of professionalism and attention to detail.
