Accidents involving pedestrians
and cars frequently cause collision damage, injuries, and
even death. Reconstruction can pose a unique challenge for
you and your colleagues, due to the complex mechanics of
collision. The abundant physical evidence found in vehicle-to-vehicle
collisions is scarce in pedestrian collisions.
This book covers everything
from the mechanics of collisions to state-of-the-art accident
research and investigative photography. You will find out
how fast individuals in different age groups walk, jog and
run and the reasons why some people place themselves in
danger on freeways and busy thoroughfares.
An important legal analysis
section, added by Paul Hill, Esq., provides the attorney
or engineer with a comprehensive resource to aid in investigating,
evaluating, and settling or litigating claims arising from
pedestrian accidents. This section is based on appellate
case research.
Pedestrian Accident Reconstruction
and Litigation is the source you need for working with
these complex cases.
