Accident Reconstruction
Heavy Trucks/Articulated Vehicles
When an articulated vehicle is involved in a motor vehicle collision,
specialized knowledge is
required in order to complete the accident reconstruction. An
articulated vehicle is any vehicle
with at least one pivot point. A semi-tractor trailer is perhaps the
best example of
vehicles in this class, which consists primarily of heavy commercial or
industrial vehicles.
The movement of an articulated vehicle on the roadway is very different from that of conventional passenger vehicles. Consequently, they must be analyzed differently when they are at the center of an accident reconstruction.
Because of the significant size and weight of most articulated vehicles, their involvement in a motor vehicle collision often signals substantial economic losses and extensive injuries. Sintra Engineering has the necessary expertise to provide important technical results that may be critical to the resolution of a claim.
