According to the National Highway Safety Administration, the recent increase in numbers of riders across North America has generated a rapid increase in motorcycle related crashes.
In 2006, 4,810 motorcyclists were killed and over 88,000 injured during that period with numbers steadily rising.
As a result, more and more motorcycle crashes are being scientifically reconstructed.
Therefore, more research is being done into the science of motorcycle crash reconstruction.
MDA reconstruction experts have received specific training to allow them to understand the unique dynamics of motorcycle motion and crashes. Motorcycle crashes often involve many unique issues that can only be resolved by a thorough and situational appropriate evaluation of the physical evidence.
Our experts can analyze the intricate details and generate a clear understanding of speeds, impact magnitude, visibility and the other issues made more complex by motorcycle involvement.
Many MDA experts are not only specifically trained in this area, but experienced riders themselves, adding a dimension of understanding of motorcycle motion. This helps them to find important information faster at the accident scene.
Modern high performance motorcycles are capable of speeds easily exceeding 150mph. At this speed, the motorcycle travels 220 feet every second, greatly reducing reaction time and increasing the size of the scene that needs to be measured. MDA re-constructionists use high tech laser total stations that can measure even large scenes quickly and efficiently so you know the roads can be opened faster.
What can MDA do for you in relation to motorcycle involved cases?
MDA has very highly specialized experts for this type of case. Most MDA partners have the ability to reconstruct common types of motorcycle involved collisions. MDA also have motorcycle specialists who will assist our regional representative when the case, if highly complex, warrants advanced knowledge and experience. No matter what type of case, our experts can assist you by generating an accurate report of the incident.
