When you’ve been involved in a car accident, it can feel like your world has been turned upside down.

At Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, we understand that this process can be overwhelming, and we are dedicated to providing our clients with the resources, expertise, and support they need during this challenging time.
One crucial aspect of a personal injury claim that many people are not familiar with is accident reconstruction. This process plays an integral role in determining liability and the extent of damages in cases where fault is not clear-cut. But what exactly is accident reconstruction, and how can it help your personal injury claim? Let’s take a closer look.
UNDERSTANDING ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION
Accident reconstruction involves meticulously examining the accident scene, vehicles involved, and any available witness accounts or surveillance footage. Specialists, often engineers, in this field use scientific principles and advanced technology to recreate the circumstances leading up to and during the accident. This information can then be used to draw conclusions about the cause of the accident and who may be at fault.
THE ROLE OF ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION IN PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS
Accident reconstruction can provide critical evidence to support your personal injury claim. Establishing a clear picture of the events leading up to the accident can help prove negligence by the other party involved. For example, if the reconstruction shows that the other driver was speeding based on available evidence, such as vehicle damage, surveillance video, or the vehicle’s event data recorder (EDR), this could be used to demonstrate that they were at fault for the accident.
Additionally, accident reconstruction can also help determine the severity of the impact and the extent of the injuries sustained. This can be crucial in securing fair compensation for accident victims. Often times these experts have degrees in the field of biomechanics.
WHEN DO YOU NEED AN ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION EXPERT?
Accident reconstruction is particularly beneficial in cases where the fault is disputed or unclear. It can also be helpful when the injuries sustained are severe, and a significant amount of compensation is at stake.
At Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, we have extensive experience working with accident reconstruction and biomechanical experts to build robust personal injury claims for our clients.
