Accident Reconstruction & Collision Damage Analysis

Accident Reconstruction is both an art and a science where we focus on uncovering the circumstances that led to a collision. When reconstructing an accident, we reconstruct the data that paints a scene, and the technicians at Lange Technical Services possess the education, hands-on experience, and advanced tools needed to determine how and why a collision occurred. Whether its interpreting Event Data Recorder (EDR) outputs, calculating vehicle speed, trajectory, and momentum, or employing drone technology to map damage patterns and scene dynamics, our technicians are prepped & ready to get to the bottom of your case.

Collision Damage Analysis, while closely related, specifically addresses the cause of a collision through the interpretation of physical damage. Unlike traditional accident reconstruction that relies on the presence of measurable evidence such as skid marks, vehicle rest positions, or detailed scene diagrams, many real-world collisions lack this level of documentation. In these cases, damage analysis becomes essential. Our experts apply Newtonian physics, tool mark identification, paint and debris examination, structural vehicle knowledge, and insight into how vehicles behave under force to reveal the true mechanics of an incident. This allows us to validate claims such as “parked and unattended” collisions and to detect evidence of damage enhancement or fabrication with scientific precision.
