Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction
The Engineering Dynamics of accidents involving bicycles are very similar to accidents involving motorcycles. Over the past 20 years Jim has reconstructed several motorcycle accidents.
Areas of Forensic Engineering Analysis include the following areas:
- Force of Impact on the Motorcyclist- This includes analysis of the forces on the helmet and protective clothing worn by the motorcyclist. The analytical effort, also includes the forces of impact on the helmet and clothing as a function of Industry and Governmental Standards.
- Trajectory of the Motorcyclist Post Impact- The trajectory of the motorcyclist post impact can be used to determine; point of impact, angle of impact, speed of impact, and path of travel.
