Accidents are an inevitable part of life; they will occur in workplaces, during recreational activities, and throughout our everyday activities such as taking your dog for a walk. When these accidents happen, understanding how and why they occur, and the responsibilities of others becomes of utmost importance when seeking an effective resolution.

Accident Reconstruction is a fundamental building block in determining both how and why an accident happened. As a pillar to any causation analysis, Accident Reconstruction encompasses the systematic and methodical step-by-step forensic investigation, identification, interpretation, validation, rectification, and analysis of available evidence; applying the accepted practices, principles, and laws of science and engineering to determine the reconstructed sequence of events.

Our Accident Reconstruction team employs a comprehensive approach, fostering collaboration with various disciplines at LISKE. This includes experts in Human Factors, Injury Biomechanics, Neuroscience, Orthopedics, wound specialists, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Safety, Systems, Mechatronics, Architectural design, and Arboriculture. By integrating insights from these diverse fields, we enhance the overall understanding of any accident.

TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS

In transportation accidents, our ACTAR Accredited Reconstruction Experts take center stage. Conducting thorough forensic investigations, our Experts utilize cutting-edge tools and technologies, including Crash Data Retrieval (black box), 3D forensic mapping, and PC Crash analysis. This comprehensive approach provides a detailed reconstruction of accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, farm or industrial equipment, as well as maritime mishaps.

PRODUCT LIABILITY ACCIDENTS

In cases involving consumer and industrial products, LISKE Product Liability Engineers step in to identify design flaws and performance failures. The evaluation includes Human Factors and Safety analyses to determine the use or misuse of guarding and warnings. This comprehensive approach helps pinpoint the root causes of product-related accidents, contributing to valuable insights for resolution purposes.

PREMISE LIABILITY

Premises liability claims also benefit from Accident Reconstruction expertise. LISKE's Experts assess accident sites for lighting and obstacle hazards, signage compliance with building codes/regulations, and conduct surface evaluations for slip-resistance testing and elevation. Collaborating with Human Factors and Injury Biomechanics experts, they identify instances of human error and ensure reported injuries align with documented accident circumstances.

To sum it up, Accident Reconstruction is an indispensable tool when unraveling the complexities of accidents and injuries. Its relevance and function extend across various fields, from transportation accidents to product liability and premises liability claims.  Working with an Accident Reconstruction Expert will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how and why accidents occur, and the responsibilities of the involved parties, creating a path for informed dispute resolution.
