Braking
and steering systems on heavy trucks and construction equipment differ substantially
from those in passenger vehicles and require a specialized approach during
accident reconstruction. Knowledge of truck safety standards, mechanical systems,
and tire performance is often needed for a complete evaluation of accidents
involving these types of vehicles. Our engineers have successfully investigated
accidents involving over-the-road trucks, ore haulers, and numerous types
of construction equipment.
