The third edition of this book is due Fall 2009. Reserve yours today or buy the second edition on CD-Rom (Product 0979). Accidents involving pedestrians and cars frequently cause collision damage, injuries, and even death. Reconstruction can pose a unique challenge for you and your colleagues, due to the complex mechanics of collision. The abundant physical evidence found in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions is scarce in pedestrian collisions. This book covers ....
everything from the mechanics of collisions to state-of-the-art accident research and investigative photography. You will find out how fast individuals in different age groups walk, jog and run and the reasons why some people place themselves in danger on freeways and busy thoroughfares. An important legal analysis section, added by Paul Hill, Esq., provides the attorney or engineer with a comprehensive resource to aid in investigating, evaluating, and settling or litigating claims arising from pedestrian accidents. This section is based on appellate case research. Pedestrian Accident Reconstruction and Litigation contains a 1008-page book, and a 120-minute VHS videocassette tape to use with the companion workbook chapter.

Review By: Joseph Badger, Law & Order - May 13, 1998
The analysis of the pedestrian involved collision is, in many respects, more complicated and demanding. This book addressed the typical sequence of events in a pedestrian involved collision and the movement of the vehicle and pedestrian body from pre-impact through the collision to their final point of rest. It is a must read for investigators fire on the scene - and for those who don't get called until sometime afterwards.
