What is Accident Reconstruction?

By Justin Templet, Project Manager

Vehicle Accident Reconstruction is the process of investigating, analyzing, and drawing conclusions about the events of a collision to determine how it occurred. Reconstructionist conduct rigorous analysis to identify the cause of a collision and contributing factors which include the three key elements of any collision: Human Factors, Vehicle Factors, and Environment/Road Factors.

While accident investigation techniques and engineering principles serve as a basis for reconstructionists’ analysis, a true accident reconstruction requires specialized training at the highest level of technical investigation.   The resulting reconstruction provides an in-depth analysis of the collision, which an expert witness can present at trial.
