We can provide detailed analysis of accidents involving freight, passenger, commuter, industrial, and recreational trains. Collisions at railroad-highway grade crossings are some of the most severe. We can analyze crossing design, maintenance, and operational factors that may have contributed to a crossing collision. Whether it's a single or multiple-vehicle traffic accident, we have the capability to reconstruct accidents involving automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and pedestrians. With our experience in highway safety, we can provide you with a comprehensive review of highway elements and their contribution to the occurrence and severity of highway accidents. Whether an accident involves trains, trucks, or automobiles, event data recorders are playing an ever-increasing role in accident reconstruction. Our ability to extract and analyze data from these systems means we can give you the most accurate and reliable results possible. Our extensive collection of references, software, and equipment means we can pull together the background research and advanced tools necessary to find the solution.
