Accident Reconstruction For Off-Road All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's)
During 1990, the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) with the assistance of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) published the first standard for ATVs referred to as ANSI/SVIA-1-1990. During 2001, ANSI/SVIA revised this standard referred to as standard ANSI/SVIA 1-2001. The standard was revised again during 2007 and again in 2010 and is referred to as standard ANSI/SVIA 1-2010.
Synopsis: The Basic Process Of A Traffic Accident Reconstruction
A Traffic Accident Reconstruction is a process by which an engineer determines from all available information and evidence how and why a traffic accident occurred including but not limited to pre-impact and post impact vehicular velocity vectors, pre-impact and post impact vehicular direction vectors, vehicular change in velocity (Delta-V), momentum vectors, vehicles' point of impact on the roadway, vehicular visibility by a driver, vehicular crash data retrieval reports if assessable, accident factors and causes.
Data Collection In Vehicular Accident Reconsruction
MOST ATTORNEYS WHO SPECIALIZE IN PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION WILL AT SOME POINT BECOME involved with a vehicular accident case.
Crash Data Recorders: The New Eyewitness In Vehicular Accidents
THOSE OF YOU WHO PRACTICE AUTOMOBILE LAW ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE A PROFOUND shift in the way accident cases are litigated and settled.
The Physics Of Collision
When we drive our vehicles down the road, we are driving them at a certain velocity and direction. All vehicles have weight and mass to the order of a few hundred pounds for a motorcycle, a few thousand pounds for a large SUV or luxury car or several tons for a tractor-trailer truck. When our vehicles move at speed down the road, they create energy by virtue of their mass and forward velocity
Forensic Engineering Experts: Airbags
Airbags are credited with reducing numerous injuries and saving many lives during vehicle accidents. However, there have been incidents where they do not function as intended, and have even caused injuries such as explosive powder burns, detached eye retinas, child suffocation and impact deaths.
Forensic Engineering Experts: Animation
Animations are useful visual tools that can help jurors understand how an incident could, or could not, have occurred. Simply describing an event in court, or showing still pictures, may be insufficient to explain a complex sequence of events.
Forensic Engineering Experts: Biomechanics
Biomechanics is the application of mechanics to the interaction of biological systems with their external environment. When investigating an accident, biomechanical analysis can be used to reconstruct a victim’s motion and relate it to his injuries.
Orthopaedic (Orthopedic) Surgeon Expert Witness
Orthopaedic surgeons assist in medical/legal evaluations in several ways. Orthopaedic expert witnesses may evaluate claimants with musculoskeletal injuries in cases that require an objective unbiased physical examination and/or expert orthopaedic opinion for settlement, negotiations, or trial.

It begins by Mr. Natal walking into TheBank and requesting to open an account for his company that’s just opened a new office in town. With his bank documents, he deposits funds for several million dollars.
