When it is needed
When a technical connection is suspected between a collision and a road defect, slipperiness or inadequate visibility.
What we examine
- Incident section
- Collision recording materials
- Road environment elements
Materials to prepare
- Collision diagram and materials
- Event photographs and videos
- Weather information
- Road maintenance records
Sample questions
- Which road conditions are supported by materials from the event date?
- Which defects and road features were significant?
- What visibility and sight-distance conditions were established?
- Could the identified circumstances technically have affected how the collision developed?
- What source data are insufficient for a definite finding?
How the work is carried out
- Checking the initial circumstances
- Examination of the section and materials
- Analysis of road factors' effects
Result
A report on technical circumstances and the effects of established road factors on the event examined.
What affects the conclusions
The expert does not determine legal culpability. A later inspection accounts for changes to the road.
Frequently asked questions
The road has already been repaired. Is an examination possible?
It is possible using surviving materials; the scope and certainty of findings depend on their completeness.
Will you determine the damage to the vehicle?
Assessment of vehicle damage is a separate task agreed additionally.
