Vehicle & Car Accident Investigations
Commercial and passenger vehicle accidents can often result in serious bodily injury, permanent disability, or loss of life. The involvement of passengers and innocent bystanders further complicates matters, as injuries resulting from vehicle accidents are rarely limited to the drivers. Even when there has not been a fatality, medical bills associated with the rehabilitation, permanent disablement, and loss of wages following an accident often create a considerable amount of financial exposure for insurance carriers. The determination of liability and identification of other factors that could have caused or contributed to the accident requires careful consideration and a high level of expertise.
Regardless of the accident specifics, LWG Consulting's vehicle accident reconstruction experts are able to scientifically answer the following questions:
- Did excess speed contribute to the accident?
- Were the vehicle’s air bag and seat belt systems functioning properly?
- Did the driver have enough time to perceive the hazard and avoid the collision?
- Were the vehicle’s braking and/or steering systems functioning properly?
- Were there any other factors that caused or contributed to the accident?
