Motor
Vehicle Accident Reconstruction
Motor Vehicle Accident Reconstruction is the forensic science of
determining the chronological sequence of events in terms of time,
distance, speed and placement of the vehicles and persons involved.
This is done via the empirical data collection from the scene, the
witnesses, the evidence, to-scale diagramming and the use of computer
programs. the Forensic Trio
is specialized in several unique reconstruction areas such as accidents
involving pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, rollovers and occupant
ejection, seating position, occupant kinematics, tire failure, head
lights (lamps) illumination, etc.
Pedestrian/Motor
Vehicle Reconstruction
Pedestrian/Motor Vehicle Accidents account for about eight percent
of the motor vehicle fatalities each year in the United States.
Pedestrian accidents are distinct and unique from other motor vehicle
accidents due to the time of day, roadway, pedestrian conspicuity,
vehicle type and configuration, driver perception and reaction,
and other factors. Many police agency accident investigations do
not address the three principles of a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident
of pedestrian velocity, motor vehicle velocity and the pedestrian's
COG relationship to the motor vehicle. Max Scott of the
Forensic Trio has reconstructed over 250 pedestrian/motor
vehicle accidents and has testified as an expert.
Criminal
Event Reconstruction
Criminal Events are reconstructed by the
Forensic Trio from empirical data collected from
the scene, the witnesses and the evidence. This is done using the
same forensic techniques as motor vehicle accident reconstruction.
Mr. Scott, the CEO, has an extensive background in crime scene forensics
and witness interviewing. His forensic training includes blood stain
interpretation, photography, photogrammetry, ballistic trajectory,
modem of injury and death, etc.
Investigation
of the Forensic Event
Forensic Investigation is the investigation, measurement, diagramming,
and photography of the scene and evidence and the interviewing of
witnesses. The purpose of a forensic investigation is to recreate
a past event for future presentation in a court of law. the
Forensic Trio uses calibrated measuring devices,
medium format cameras, and other professional equipment to record
information for exhibits, event reconstruction and presentation
of the forensic event at trial.
Photography,
Photogrammetry and Video
the Forensic Trio
uses medium format (6x7 and 6x4.5), 35mm and commercial grade digital
cameras in performing forensic investigations. Max J. Scott, CEO,
has been professionally trained in Forensic Photography and the
photograph reconstruction process termed Photogrammetry. Through
the photogrammetry process Cartesian measurements can be determined.
The scene can then be diagrammed to-scale with the accurate placement
of evidence such as tire marks, point of impact, blood stains, etc.
Forensic
(Private) Investigation
As detailed in our other areas of practice, the
Forensic Trio specializes in litigated cases only.
Forensic Investigation, is performed as part of the empirical data
gathering process to reconstruct a forensic event. We do not perform
private security or do domestic surveillance.
