EXPERTISE
Does your case involve a vehicle or pedestrian accident? TLS FORENSIC Engineers will determine whether an injury was caused by the collision under investigation and determine an occupant’s seating position including whether a seat belt was used.
MOTOR VEHICLE, OCCUPANT RESTRAINT, AIRBAG AND PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Accident reconstruction considers vehicle, human and environmental factors. The analysis is able to determine vehicle speed, dynamics and collision severity. It can also determine occupant kinematics, seatbelt and other safety system use and misuse, failure analysis of safety systems, time-distance studies and driver identification. Accident site inspections may be performed to record any remaining physical evidence and evaluate factors such as traffic control devices, site conditions, obstructions, and other possible hazards. A site survey can be performed if required.
Our services include the investigation and reconstruction of collisions involving:
Passenger Vehicles and Light Trucks
Heavy Trucks, Buses and Other Commercial Vehicles
Pedestrians, Motorcycles and Bicycles
Industrial Vehicles and Farm Equipment
Trailers, Snowmobiles and All-Terrain Vehicles
Personal watercraft, golf carts, ski hill equipment and equestrian sports.
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
TLS FORENSIC is dedicated to the pursuit of determining the causes and extent of industrial injuries due to failure of products or equipment and accidents caused by vehicles. Our team of engineers utilize decades of previous research to investigate the epidemiology of previous cases, state-of-the-science physics-based simulation software and years of investigative experience.
We examine all available police reports, insurance claims, testimony and conduct comprehensive on-site experimentation when required. A biomechanical analysis may evaluate whether an injury was caused by product misuse, non-use, failure or design. From this analysis, the potential for injury reduction or injury prevention can be determined.
Our services include the investigation and reconstruction of industrial accidents involving:
Falling Overhead Objects
Falls From Scaffolding
Industrial Vehicles and Farm Equipment
CRIMINAL FORENSICS
For criminal investigations, the TLS FORENSIC ENGINEERING team will determine the nature of the injuries, reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the injury and facilitate understanding of the implications of the accident or event in question.
For cases involving blunt force trauma (including physical assaults of infants, children and adults) the TLS FORENSIC ENGINEERING will determine the nature of the injuries, reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the injury, and facilitate the understanding of the implications of the accident or event in question.
Areas of investigation have included:
Physical Assault of One Adult on Another Adult With or Without a Weapon
Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle Resulting in Injury or Death
Criminally Negligent Behaviour Resulting in Personal Injury
Sexual Assault of One Adult on Another Adult
SPORTS, RECREATION AND PEDIATRIC INJURIES
TLS FORENSIC ENGINEERING is frequently engaged to investigate catastrophic sports injuries in order to determine how they occurred and whether or not they could have been prevented.
TLS FORENSIC ENGINEERING is a leader among forensic experts in sports and recreational injuries and can assist in determining:
- Whether the equipment and facility were safely designed, used, and maintained?
- Whether the participants acted reasonably?
- Whether the equipment properly fitted?
- Whether the activity was reasonably supervised and controlled?
- Whether participants were provided with the necessary skills, tools and information to safely participate?
