Car Accident Reconstructionist Overview

When a car accident occurs, the first people on the scene are typically first responders, such as firemen, police officers, or emergency medical services professionals. Often, police officers will take statements at the scene of an accident or interview witnesses later to determine what caused the crash. It is not always easy to understand what happened and figuring out may require the expertise of a car accident reconstructionist.

Car accident reconstructionists come from a variety of backgrounds; many reconstructionists work for the police force or have a police background. Some accident reconstructionists may be employed by private agencies. Accident reconstructionists will look at the scene to determine what caused the crash. An accident reconstructionist will:

1. Look to see if there are skid marks from brakes or tires and try to establish what these marks mean about the vehicles’ speeds.
2. Pay close attention to impact sites in order to understand how the vehicles came into contact with each other.
3. Take note of the road conditions at the time of the accident to determine if additional hazards, such as black ice, might have contributed to the accident.
4. Examine steering wheels, turn signals, headlights, and more to decide if a driver acted negligently or defensively.
5. Go over reports and pictures from the scene of the accident, including those taken by first responders and those provided by witnesses.

With the information above, accident reconstructionists will be able to determine what happened to cause an accident. This information may be vital in a personal injury case.

Car Accident Reconstructionist Qualifications

According to the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR), traffic accident reconstruction was standardized in 1985, when the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission provided a grant to establish minimum standards and qualifications. Accreditation by ACTAR is the most important certification a Traffic Accident Reconstructionist can receive. Whether a reconstructionist is ACTAR-accredited should indicate whether he or she should be trusted as a witness in legal proceedings surrounding car accidents.

To be an ACTAR-accredited car accident reconstructionist, you should:

1. Have experience or training in the car accident reconstructionist field;
2. Pass the ACTAR examination in the car accident reconstructionist field; and
3. Continue your education through ACTAR programming.

Car accident reconstructionists often are part of forensic teams in police departments. Car accident reconstructionists typically train through education at a university or other higher education program or instruction during employment with a police department or other law enforcement agency. Before they can become ACTAR accredited, accident reconstructionists require hands-on experience in the field, typically under the guidance of a more experienced car accident reconstructionist.

Accredited car accident reconstructionists can be important witnesses in car accident personal injury cases.

Why Is A Car Accident Reconstructionist Important?

Car accident reconstructionists are critical in determining who caused an accident. Once a car accident reconstructionist determines who caused an accident, that person can be held accountable for others’ injuries. Car accident reconstructionists are important because:

1. They may find evidence that a police officer missed;
2. They may find evidence that contradicts eyewitness or driver statements; and
3. They can provide experienced and accredited witness testimony in legal proceedings.

During some legal proceedings, it may be necessary to employ a car accident reconstructionist to look back at the evidence from the scene. Car accident reconstructionists are critical during the investigation of a car accident personal injury case. If you have been injured in a car accident, you should seek a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure a car accident reconstructionist can begin an investigation right away.
