ABSTRACT
In order to properly reconstruct or model a collision, an accident, or an event, it is important to gather all the information that is available. The more information that is gathered, the more accurate the model of the event becomes. As with any forensic engineering investigation, while the evidence is being gathered, it is often unknown which evidence, measurement, or facts will be more important. Sometimes evidence is overlooked or simply ignored. Careful investigators are methodical and generally slow in their approach. Through experience, they have learned that the use of check lists or set procedures is very helpful in conducting forensic investigations.
