Accident reconstruction is a science that brings together physics, engineering, math, and forensic methods to figure out exactly how and why an accident happened. Experts don’t just talk about what happened—they use real data to measure and prove what occurred.

Advanced Techniques & Tools
Modern reconstruction uses state-of-the-art technology:
1. Scene Documentation
Drone-based orthomosaic mapping (like your diagram)
3D laser scanning (LiDAR)
Photogrammetry for accurate measurements

2. Vehicle Analysis
Event Data Recorder (EDR / “black box”) downloads
Crush profile measurements
Tire mark classification (yaw, skid, scuff)

3. Simulation Software
PC-Crash, HVE, Virtual CRASH
Time-distance analysis
Collision animation for courtroom use

4. Environmental Analysis
Road friction testing (drag factor)
Weather and lighting conditions
Road geometry and signage evaluation
