The Ability to Reconstruct the Accident

In Israel, there are experts of various types, each possessing extensive knowledge in a specific field. Therefore, when discussing traffic accidents, we must be aware that there are individuals who have been trained to the necessary level in order to present the causes of different accidents that occurred on the country's roads. Thus, a professional such as a civil traffic examiner/investigator can arrive at the scene of a traffic accident — whether it is a minor, moderate, or fatal accident — and, within a short period of time, present the causes that led to the accident.

The idea is to reconstruct the traffic accident. This is because it provides an accurate picture of the causes of the accident. A thorough examination of the area where the accident occurred, various physical calculations, an inspection of the vehicles involved in the accident, and other considerations of relevant data, such as identifying evidence from the accident (tire marks, glass shards, and vehicle debris, fluids), preserving evidence (slopes, potholes on the road), examining the field of vision and the possibility of finding obstructing objects such as vegetation that will be removed later, and preserving the scene before any changes are made (repainting road markings, placing traffic signs), will lead the examiner/investigator to provide a structured report that includes the causes of the accident that occurred.

Professional knowledge is also expressed in other forms.

When we talk about analytical ability, it can be useful not only for insurance companies. The services of a certified expert examiner/investigator can also be presented to other parties who can extract maximum benefit in many ways from his extensive knowledge. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that a wide range of organizations would be eager to recognize a certified traffic examiner/investigator to see what exactly he can offer them.

Those who manage large vehicle fleets can benefit from the services of a quality investigator, as he teaches them how to identify accident hotspots and emphasizes the dangerous aspects of improper vehicle operation and poor management of the organization's vehicle fleet. This transfer of knowledge can reduce the risk of traffic accidents caused by the organization’s drivers.

In-depth material that provides special knowledge

A certified traffic accident examiner/investigator is, therefore, a person with the genuine ability to properly investigate any accident.

In practice, we can see how such a professional can conduct a much more thorough investigation of accidents with very complex causes. Thanks to his training and certification, a certified traffic accident examiner/investigator can impressively reconstruct the accident that occurred and, in doing so, point to the fault of a specific driver, certain road conditions that led to the accident, a technical problem with the vehicle, or weather conditions that significantly impacted the drivers.

Possible contact at any moment

Each of us can be involved in one accident or another. Even if we are very cautious drivers and the road conditions were excellent, certain accidents occur when we have no control over the situation. This highlights the necessity of a civil traffic examiner/investigator in situations where the causes of the accident must be thoroughly investigated, whether it involves a specific accusation or other reasons for the investigation of the accident.

It is worth noting that contacting a civil examiner/investigator can be done even if it is not very close to the time of the accident. Collecting evidence from the scene, examining the area, questioning witnesses, and other actions can be carried out even if it is not just a few hours after the accident, but even several days later. Therefore, even a seemingly late request will not prevent a professional investigation.

The integration of a skilled and professional civil traffic examiner/investigator from the initial stage of the accident can lead to accurate and truthful results.
