Accident Reconstruction Expert Witness
Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Accident Reconstruction Expert Witness to join our growing team of forensic engineering professionals. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in engineering — with hands-on experience analyzing vehicle collisions, crash dynamics, roadway conditions, and contributing factors — and a proven ability to deliver clear, compelling expert analysis and testimony in legal cases. This is a unique opportunity for an engineer passionate about applying their technical expertise to support the legal process and uncover the truth behind complex accidents.
Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct thorough investigations and forensic analyses of motor vehicle accidents, including crash dynamics, impact forces, vehicle kinematics, roadway conditions, and contributing human, mechanical, and environmental factors.
  

• Prepare detailed written reports and expert opinions supported by engineering principles, data modeling, and physical evidence.
  

• Provide expert witness testimony during depositions, mediations, and trials — translating complex technical findings into clear, understandable explanations for attorneys, juries, and other non-technical audiences.
  

• Collaborate closely with legal teams to develop case strategies, identify key issues, and support litigation efforts with precise technical expertise.
  

• Perform on-site inspections, evidence collection, and measurements to accurately reconstruct accident events.
  

• Stay current on industry standards, crash investigation methodologies, and relevant regulations and technologies in vehicle dynamics and roadway safety.
  

RequirementsQualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, or a related discipline (Master’s degree preferred).
  

• Proven experience in accident reconstruction, collision analysis, or forensic engineering.
  

• Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, occupant kinematics, roadway design, and safety standards.
  

• Previous experience serving as an expert witness or testifying in legal proceedings is highly desirable.
  

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
  

• Outstanding communication and presentation abilities, with the capability to explain complex concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
  

• Professional Engineering (PE) license and/or ACTAR certification is preferred.
  

BenefitsWhat We Offer:

• Competitive compensation and flexible working arrangements.
  

• Comprehensive case support — including research assistance, report editing, and marketing.
  

• Professional development opportunities such as deposition coaching and testimony training.
  

• A collaborative, dynamic environment where your expertise is valued and your impact is tangible.
  

If you are an engineer with a passion for forensic analysis and helping uncover the facts behind accidents, we want to hear from you. Please submit your CV and any supporting materials highlighting your accident reconstruction expertise.
