When you are the victim of an accident caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to full and just compensation for your damages suffered. However, the key to recovering compensation is proving negligence and liability. It can be particularly difficult to establish negligence and liability if there were no eyewitnesses to the accident. If this is the case in your accident, you should discuss accident reconstruction with your personal injury lawyer.

What is Accident Reconstruction?

Accident reconstruction involves gathering and analyzing physical evidence, testimony of witnesses (if any), and all other available information to understand how the accident occurred. An accident reconstruction expert can demonstrate who was at fault and provide evidence supporting the extent of the damages suffered by the victim.

4 Things to Know About Accident Reconstruction

If you are considering accident reconstruction in your personal injury case, below are four things to know:

1. THE EXPERT WILL USE TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE

An accident reconstructionist is trained in using engineering, physics, and computer technologies to recreate the scene of the crash. The expert will consider evidence such as injuries incurred, photos/videos, skid marks (or the lack thereof), debris, weather, and damage to the vehicles to establish what happened.

2. ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION IS NOT ONLY FOR AUTO ACCIDENTS

Most people associate the use of accident reconstruction with auto accident cases, but it can be used in a variety of personal injury cases. If you are injured in an accident caused by a negligent party, discuss the use of accident reconstruction with your personal injury attorney.

3. ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION CAN HELP PROVE LIABILITY

Liability is often one of the most debated issues in an accident case. An accident reconstruction expert provides objective evidence to determine liability. He or she can testify regarding the physical evidence and what it means, including speed, point of impact, and other factors that prove who was at fault.

4. PROVING DAMAGES WITH ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION

Accident reconstruction can be used to prove the extent of the victim’s injuries. Evidence of the speed, force of impact, and damage caused to the vehicles can support the severity of the injuries sustained by the victim. All these factors support the amount of compensation the victim is entitled to recover.
