Unmatched Experience

Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky understands the complex mechanical and physical factors that contribute to motor vehicle accidents. Our investigations include:

• Comprehensive depositions of all drivers, passengers, and witnesses
• In-depth analyses to determine the relative roles played by driver error, defective vehicles, and road and weather conditions
• Biomechanical analysis to determine what happened to an injured driver or passenger during the crash sequence, and how that data is explainable by the accident’s causes

In addition to the Firm’s extensive experience, we also use independent accident reconstruction experts to accurately simulate how an accident occurred through the use of hi-tech, three-dimensional animations and graphics. These powerful trial tools often convince insurance companies to offer significant settlements and juries to award high-value verdicts.
