After an accident on a mountain road, Melrose Law attorneys get to work collecting the evidence you’ll need to hold a car insurance company fully responsible.
But when car insurance companies stand in the way of the support victims need, accident reconstruction evidence can be the difference in a case that gets compensated and one that insurers can find an excuse to reject.
When car insurance companies hope to pin an accident on you, reconstruction teams can provide the key evidence that protects your claim. Because the stronger your evidence, the more you can often expect in a settlement check.
How Can a Car Accident Reconstruction Team Help My Case?
Melrose Law commonly hires accident reconstruction teams for cases, especially when the fault in the accident is in question. (Side note: car insurance companies can raise questions about the fault in the accident even when it’s very clear who caused the collision).
Sometimes, car insurance adjusters accept fault and send you a settlement check fairly quickly. Other times, they can drag their feet and delay, especially when there are expensive medical bills involved. They want to keep you guessing and hopefully limit the support you get.
At times, the powerful evidence from an accident reconstruction team allows you to fight back against false statements made by an insurer.
These teams will take these important actions at the scene of your accident to make sure the facts can’t be changed:
- Gather Data and Evidence at the Scene: Accident reconstruction crews use sophisticated investigative tools to recreate how a crash occurred. They comb over the skid marks left by vehicles and other physical evidence. These factors reveal much about why vehicles ended up where they did. Complicated equations and physics show where vehicles came from and how fast they were going.
- Examining Vehicles and Debris: The severity of impact zones on the cars themselves also reveals a lot about what happened. The speeds of vehicles become easy to calculate. The pieces of debris and where they came to rest also help researchers uncover more of the truth.
- Computer Simulation: Teams are able to enter all the data they’ve collected and produce a simulation of what happened, showing why you weren’t at fault.
- Questioning an Asheville PD or an NCHP Accident Report. The proof that accident reconstruction teams provide can help correct any misguided assumptions put into an accident report by the investigating officer. Officers rarely witness accidents firsthand, so an accident report is generally just an educated guess about what happened. They can get things wrong. If you know you weren’t at fault for a collision, Melrose Law helps you prove your innocence.
- Expert Witnesses. Accident reconstruction experts can testify in court to their findings and represent powerful voices for your side of things. Melrose Law would also have any eyewitnesses ready to testify. Medical experts are also sometimes relied upon to attest to the severity of your injuries and the level of support you’ll need to fully recover.
