Why do I need to hire a collision reconstruction expert?

You need to hire a collision reconstruction expert to make sure that any traffic accident that you are involved in is investigated thoroughly and correctly.  Many traffic crashes result in serious injuries or fatalities or involve substantial property damage and result in civil action or criminal charges in court.  An expert from Collision Forensics, LLC, can determine who should be liable for damages resulting from a crash.  We will also make sure that any criminal charges filed against you are warranted and the result of an accurate and complete investigation by law enforcement.

What is the "BLACK BOX" inside my vehicle?

The "black box" is actually an event data recorder located inside your vehicle's airbag control module (ACM), power train control module (PCM) or similar component, that may be able to record electronic data related to a crash.  Some of the data that an event data recorder or "black box" might record includes pre-crash speed, pre-crash braking, steering input and seatbelt status.  The amount and type of data that may be recorded depends on the year, model and make of your vehicle.  At Collision Forensics, LLC, we have state of the art equipment including the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Tool (CDR) that allows us to access this very important data and use it in the overall reconstruction process.

What is your coverage area?

At Collision Forensics, LLC, we primarily investigate and reconstruct collisions that have occurred in the northeastern United States.  Our office is located about 50 miles north of New York City so we can serve a large population and geographical area while keeping travel costs at a minimum.  We will travel outside of the northeast for an investigation on a case specific basis.  We will also travel anywhere in the United States to teach a variety of traffc crash investigation related classes to law enforcement, private sector accident investigators, and insurance companies.
