COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION
Accidents involving commercial vehicles are often associated with large financial loss and significant injuries to the occupants of other vehicles involved. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh twenty times as much as a passenger vehicle. This large difference in weight can complicate the accident reconstruction with seemingly disproportionate damage.
Commercial vehicles are heavy-duty trucks often referred to as:
-
Semi Tractor Trailers
-
Heavy Trucks
-
Multi-Axle Trucks
-
Box Trucks
-
Garbage Trucks
Our engineers understand the mechanical systems of commercial vehicles and are experienced at incorporating their unique data and evidence into our commercial vehicle accident reconstructions. Some areas of investigation that are unique to commercial vehicles include:
-
Air Brake Systems Analysis
-
Analysis of "Black Box" Data
-
Analysis of Onboard Camera Footage
-
Analysis of GPS Data
-
Dynamics Associated with Articulated Vehicles
-
Reconstruction Science Unique to Commercial Vehicles
Veritech's engineers have experience in accident reconstruction involving commercial vehicles and have authored peer-reviewed publications with the Society of Automotive Engineering on aspects related to commercial vehicle accident reconstruction.
