Moon Forensic Consulting Provides a Full Complement of Services:
Biomechanical Analysis
Empirical evidence supports specific mechanisms of injuries and tolerances the human body can withstand. During any incident, from low-speed vehicle impacts to slip-and-falls, the human body is subject to the laws of physics. Biomechanics examines the forces imparted on the body and explains the effect those forces impart.
Human Factors
An analysis of how human performance can be influenced by cognitive, perceptual, spatial, temporal, and other human tendencies. This is applicable to human behavior in situations such as driver perception/reaction time, slip-trip and falls, and recreational sporting activities.
Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) “Black-Box”
Dating back to 1994, vehicles sold in the United States have been equipped with a Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) system, otherwise known as a “Black Box”. These systems record and store important information such as impact speed, braking, percent throttle, seat belt status, steering wheel angle, and whether or not an airbag deployment event occurred. Importantly, this data is stored for a limited time, and can be subject to corruption or loss. Moon Forensic Consulting can properly image and analyze in a timely manner CDR data to definitively ascertain specific force parameters at the time of impact.
Accident Reconstruction Analysis
From low-speed impacts to pedestrian and bicycle accidents, Moon Forensic Consulting details the key events leading to the incident and explain what happened and why.
Forensic Visibility Analysis
When the question of whether visibility may or may not have been hindered in relation to the cause of an accident, examining contributing factors of visibility that may arise in accidents such as line of sight, weather conditions at a certain time of day, and the sun are instrumental in Accident Reconstruction.
Mapping & Photogrammetry
Moon Forensic Consulting can incorporate advanced techniques to assist in determining liability, accident severity, time/distance analysis, and visibility characteristics in a collision. Photographs and surveillance video cameras can be utilized to create accurate roadway measurements which can determine the location of people and objects. Incorporating precise vehicle crush characteristics and locations of vehicles and skid marks post-impact which can ultimately assist in determining the events surrounding an incident.
