Truck Accident Reconstruction in Mississippi Trucking Accident Cases

Trucking accidents can be devastating, and may result in serious injury or even death.  In fact, trucking accidents are some of the most dangerous accidents to occur on United States roadways.  If you are pursuing a personal injury lawsuit or an insurance claim, an investigation of the accident is a vital part of building your case.  Below is an overview of accident reconstruction in trucking accident cases and the use of experts in support thereof.

What is Truck Accident Reconstruction?

Truck accident reconstruction is the process of obtaining information about a trucking accident and examining it to determine its cause.  Specifically, the procedure of investigating a trucking accident case can provide you with details as to how the accident occurred, the ways in which it could have been prevented, and the factors that contributed to the accident.

Trucking accident reconstruction helps personal injury lawyers to ascertain various aspects of a crash, as follows:

  • How the accident occurred
  • When the vehicles involving in the crash were accelerating and decelerating
  • The position, time, and speed of the vehicles involved in the crash
  • Whether human factors impacted the crash
  • The vehicle speed at the point of impact
  • The direction of travel

How does Trucking Accident Reconstruction Work?

An expert specialized in accident reconstruction gathers all of the evidence necessary regarding the accident.  If he or she is retained quick enough, the expert can go to the scene of the crash and obtain vital information through taking photos of the damage to the vehicles involved in the accident as well as skid marks, and other critical aspects of the crash.

If the accident did not recently occur, a reconstruction expert can examine any photographs that were taken of the crash scene and the damage that resulted to the vehicles.  Some of the factors that a reconstruction expert considers is as follows: the weight of the vehicles, braking and steering information, the conditions of the road, the weather conditions, direction of travel, and the surfaces traveled on.
