Commercial Vehicle Accident Reconstruction

Commercial vehicle accidents are complex events involving multiple vehicles, mechanical systems, electronic data systems, and human factors. Unlike passenger cars, each commercial vehicle presents a unique electronic data system and requires special handling for proper preservation of evidence.

Kimley-Horn’s forensic engineers have years of experience inspecting and preserving evidence of accident scenes and commercial vehicles.
