Crashes, especially those involving
heavy-trucks and buses, are more likely to result in
serious injury and/or death and large loss claims. Because
vehicle crashes have a variety of causation factors,
a comprehensive effort to investigate and reduce them
must focus on a wide range of factors, including the
behavior of those involved, environmental characteristics,
vehicle condition and operational practices.
Coulter & Associates, Inc. conducts
thorough investigations and analysis of crashes utilizing
a nine-cell matrix. The methodology of the nine-cell
matrix assists in evaluating the pre-crash, at-crash
and post-crash of the vehicle, environment and involved
individuals.
All to often important factors
that may have caused and/or contributed to a crash are
often limited to a single issue or poorly defined as
“operator error”. The methodology utilized
by Coulter& Associates, Inc., helps identify, analysis
and document objective crash data, data that is relied
upon by reconstructionists and litigators.
