Non-Commercial Vehicles
Non-commercial vehicle accidents can be caused by a number of contributing factors. The professional engineers at Atlanta Engineering Services are skilled at investigating non-commercial traffic accidents and can determine the cause of the accident. We have experience investigating all types of accidents involving: pedestrians, animals, bicycles, motorcycles, sedans, sport utility vehicles (SUV), pickup trucks, trailers and vans.
Types of Traffic Accidents
There are many different types of traffic accidents. A few of the most common types of accidents we handle are:

Gathering Evidence
Our engineers know the critical importance of gathering scene information as soon after the accident as possible. This evidence provides critical information about how the accident happened. The local police and highway patrol complete accident reports, take photos, record video footage and often mark a scene. The phrase “mark a scene” has come to mean that the arriving officers locate key items using spray paint or flags.
Depending on the type of accident and the type of vehicles involved, the investigating officer may mark things such as: debris, points of impact, skid marks, final resting places of vehicles and pedestrians, and any other relevant items. Beyond making sure the scene is secure and completing their report, a thorough investigation is rarely completed. Roadway evidence begins to disappear soon after the accident making it critically important to have a professional gather the evidence for future use. At Atlanta Engineering Services, our engineers are ready to respond to an accident at any time.
Forming an Expert Opinion
Much information can be obtained from inspecting vehicles that have been involved in an accident and relating the information with that found at the scene. A few of the aspects of crashes that our experts make determinations on are:
- Vehicle Speed
- Calculate Amount of Force Applied to Vehicle, Causing Bodily Injury
- Determine if Headlights / Turn Signals were Turned On or Off at Impact
- Angles of Impact
- Determine if there is any Mechanical Failure in critical areas such as: Brake Systems, Tires,
Air Bags, Seat Belts, and other safety equipment. - Forensic Mapping, which shows how the accident happened using drawings, animations,
or 3-D simulation videos.
