Our collision reconstruction experts recently attended the ITAI (Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators) Crash Day<\/a> at the Darley Moore Race Circuit in Derbyshire where they observed a number of controlled crashes.<\/p>

Hawkins has the largest group of Road Traffic Collision investigators in the UK, including some forensic engineers with over 30 years\u2019 experience. Despite their extensive expertise, our investigators participate in events such as these to maintain their knowledge and remain experts in their field as the automotive industry evolves. This detailed engineering knowledge of how vehicles operate and behave in crashes is invaluable when providing forensic investigation, and scene and vehicle examination services to identify the causes of a collision.<\/p>

Alongside understanding how vehicles behave; is understanding the impact on occupants of a vehicle in the event of a collision. Senior Associate Ross Clarke discusses this in his article Crashworthiness: The Science of Collision Protection<\/a>. Ross explains that vehicle crashworthiness is the concept of protecting the occupants in the event of a collision. This covers all aspects of safety, from the vehicle\u2019s ability to deform and absorb energy whilst maintaining the integrity of its occupant compartment, to the restraint systems used to help manage occupant movements.<\/p>

Whether an incident involves a car, bus, heavy goods vehicle, motorcycle, farming equipment, or a bicycle, Hawkins\u2019 engineers have the expertise to investigate. Our experience includes:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
