Accident Reconstruction
Our accident reconstructionists use state-of-the-art technology in reconstructing accidents
At Knott Laboratory, we’re at the forefront of bringing clarity and resolution to complex accident cases for attorneys and insurance experts across the country. Our team of seasoned forensic engineers delve into the intricacies of countless vehicle mishaps—ranging from minor fender-benders to large-scale, multi-vehicle collisions, and everything in between. Our expertise isn’t just limited to the roads; we also analyze and reconstruct accidents involving motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, recreational vehicles like ATVs, and even train and railroad crossings. Plus, we’re adept at navigating through the complexities of construction equipment, crane, and forklift accidents.
Our professionals are not only licensed and registered but also possess the unique ability to demystify complex engineering problems, making them understandable and compelling in any legal setting. We pride ourselves on our proven track record, with our engineers serving as expert witnesses in thousands of cases, cutting through technical jargon to present clear, concise arguments in both state and Federal courts.
Leveraging the latest in technology, our accident reconstruction specialists employ an arsenal of tools—from GPS and video evidence to cell phone and vehicle Event Data Recorders (EDR) data—to accurately piece together the events leading up to an accident.
But we don’t just stop at analysis. Our team crafts detailed visualizations that vividly convey our findings, ensuring that the facts stand out clearly whether in courtroom trials, depositions, mediations, or arbitrations.
