Today’s vehicles have new features that help to reduce the number of crashes due to driver loss of control, minimize injuries to occupants, monitor safety system readiness and performance, and record crash data.
Our automotive experts can evaluate auto defects, analyze crash data, consult in automotive legal matters, and determine if automobile industry standards were upheld.
Electronic driver aids help prevent driver loss of control.
Active and passive safety systems are designed to reduce injury to occupants as a result of a crash.
Diagnostic trouble codes are stored on board the vehicle. The data can be downloaded to determine readiness and functionality of various safety related components and systems before and during a crash.
Motor vehicle crash data recorders record vehicle operating parameters for several seconds before impact. The data streams can be retrieved and used to aid in accident reconstruction analyses.
- Vehicle Repair – Expert Investigates Engine Failure to Determine Cause
Robson Forensic was retained to determine if a Dodge engine failure was the result of an improper repair. The engine of a 2002 Dodge Intrepid with approximately 100,000 miles seized during highway driving only a few days after an Auto Shop had changed the oil. Opposing experts determined that the failure was caused by an improper repair. Vehicle Engineering Expert, Steven J. Becker, disassembled the engine to inspect the damage and the oil. He concluded that the engine failed as a result of a broken connecting rod, which subsequently broke the oil pan, causing the oil loss that seized the engine.
