Clear Crash Consulting, LLC provides accident reconstruction consulting services for attorneys, insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, and private clients.
Services are focused on objective, evidence-based analysis of motor vehicle collisions, roadway evidence, vehicle damage, photographs, videos, reports, and related case materials.
Crash Reconstruction Consulting
Clear Crash Consulting provides reconstruction consulting for motor vehicle collision cases involving passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles, and other roadway users. Analysis may include roadway evidence, vehicle damage, final rest positions, scene measurements, photographs, video footage, witness information, and available electronic data.
Vehicle Damage Analysis
Vehicle inspections may be conducted to document impact damage, contact patterns, crush profiles, lighting equipment, tire condition, occupant compartment damage, restraint use indicators, and other relevant vehicle evidence. Vehicle inspections can assist in evaluating collision severity, impact configuration, and consistency with other evidence.
Accident Report Review
A review of existing crash reports can help identify important issues, missing information, inconsistencies, or areas that may require further investigation. This service may include review of law enforcement reports, supplemental reports, diagrams, photographs, witness statements, citations, and related investigative materials.
Photograph and Video Analysis
Photographs and video footage can provide valuable information in a crash reconstruction. Clear Crash Consulting can review scene photographs, vehicle photographs, surveillance footage, dash camera footage, body camera footage, and other visual evidence to identify relevant timing, positioning, movement, visibility, and roadway evidence.
Scene Inspection and Documentation
When appropriate, Clear Crash Consulting can conduct scene inspections to document roadway layout, sight distance, traffic control devices, roadway markings, grades, curves, evidence locations, lighting conditions, and other relevant physical characteristics. Scene documentation may include photographs, measurements, notes, and diagrams.
Speed Estimates and Time-Distance Analysis
Clear Crash Consulting can evaluate issues involving vehicle speed, travel distance, perception-response time, braking distance, stopping distance, pedestrian movement, vehicle movement, and sequence of events. These calculations are based on available evidence and accepted reconstruction principles.
EDR/CDR Data Review
When event data recorder information is available, Clear Crash Consulting can review and evaluate CDR/EDR reports in connection with the physical evidence. This may include review of pre-crash speed, brake application, accelerator input, seat belt status, delta-v, and related recorded data when supported by the vehicle and available report.
When needed, Clear Crash Consulting can assist with coordinating subcontracted EDR/CDR data imaging by properly equipped and qualified providers.
Deposition and Courtroom Testimony
When appropriate, Clear Crash Consulting may provide deposition or courtroom testimony regarding accident reconstruction opinions, analysis, and findings. Testimony services are subject to case review, conflict check, and written agreement.
Litigation Support
Clear Crash Consulting provides litigation assistance for attorneys and insurance professionals involved in motor vehicle collision cases. Services may include case review, evidence evaluation, written opinions, report preparation, exhibit review, deposition preparation, and consultation regarding crash reconstruction issues.
Preliminary Case Review
For clients who are unsure whether a full reconstruction is needed, Clear Crash Consulting offers preliminary case review. This service may include an initial review of available reports, photographs, videos, and other materials to identify key issues and determine whether additional analysis, inspection, or reconstruction work may be beneficial.
Expert Consultation and Written Reports
Clear Crash Consulting can provide verbal consultation, preliminary case review, written summaries, and formal reconstruction reports depending on the needs of the case.
