Dennis Payne’s accident reconstruction work was grounded in decades of professional experience, including accreditation through the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) and active participation in leading reconstruction organizations.
This work was supported by a foundation in long-term law enforcement service and extensive training across multiple accident reconstruction disciplines. Advanced training was completed through programs such as Texas A&M University Engineering Extension, the University of North Florida Institute of Police Technology and Management, Northwestern University Traffic Institute, and others.
Accident reconstruction cases were evaluated through a structured analytical process designed to determine how a collision occurred and why specific outcomes resulted. This included examination of the scene, involved vehicles, physical evidence, and available documentation such as witness statements, reports, and photographic records.
Analyses often included collision dynamics, vehicle speeds, time and distance relationships, human factors, and contributing causation elements, as well as biomechanical considerations related to injury. As cases progressed, additional materials such as discovery documents and transcripts were reviewed to support technical findings and case development.

Experience included reconstructions involving commercial vehicles, with detailed evaluation of vehicle condition, regulatory compliance, and operational factors.
This work also included review of driver qualifications, training, hiring and retention practices, and maintenance procedures, as well as operational protocols relevant to the motor carrier.
Where appropriate, collaboration with specialists in related engineering and reconstruction disciplines was incorporated to ensure that all technical aspects of a case were thoroughly addressed.
