Case-specific research was a critical component of accident reconstruction and forensic analysis work, supporting the development of accurate, well-supported conclusions.

Research areas included crash testing data, crush stiffness values, vehicle specifications, recall information, and VIN decoding, as well as human factors analysis, SAE publications, and applicable federal and state regulations.

Additional work included evaluation of motor carrier operations, driver qualification and logbook analysis, trip and route considerations, traffic control systems, and relevant traffic laws.
