Vehicle Accident Reconstruction

Roadway intersections have been proven to be the location for a majority of vehicular collisions. The type and effectiveness of the traffic control device being used will play a part in the safety record for these junctions. An in depth knowledge of highway design standards provides Wallace J. Ochterski, P.E. with the background to determine the proper criteria for installation of these traffic control devices.

By measuring the amount of crush damage to a vehicle, the energy required to cause this deformation can be calculated. Wallace J. Ochterski, P.E. has the training in mathematics to determine vehicle speed at the time of impact based on the damage to the vehicles.

Occupant kinematics is the study of the movement of vehicle occupants at the time of collision. The use of seat belts, and the location of the impact point provides significant evidence to assert or contradict the injury claims from these occupants.
