Fraud Investigation
Roadway evidence such as skid marks or gouges will routinely explain what direction a vehicle rotated
or even the path a vehicle took from impact to final rest.  The accident reconstruction experts at Crash
Data Services, LLC pride themselves on thorough accident scene investigations.

The skid mark pictured to the left was caused as the front tires of a vehicle rode over a curb.  The
vehicle was moving from left to right, parallel to the heading of the tires, causing the distinguishing
pattern contained within the mark.  

Accident reconstructionists can sometimes classify a roadway mark as a skid mark, scuff mark, yaw
mark or ABS mark based on the tread pattern contained therein.
Based on the gouge pictured above, accident reconstructionists were able to
explain the rotational mechanics of a vehicle post-impact.  This rotation was an
important factor used in reconstructing the dynamic interaction between a
motorcycle and sedan when they collided.
