If you are an attorney,
insurance company representative, commercial vehicle fleet operator,
representative of a government agency, licensed private investigator or
claims adjuster, and require an analysis of skid marks, please contact
us. There is no charge or obligation for the initial consultation on
any traffic accident case.
There are four pages on this
web site regarding skid marks:
On-Line
Skid Speed/Distance Calculator
This
calculator will provide the approximate speed of a car based on the skid
distance and under the conditions listed. This calculator only provides
an estimate and there are certain assumptions built into the calculator
that may not apply to your situation. Do not use the results of this
calculator in any legal proceeding or insurance claims action. The
calculator is provided for general information only.
Skid
Distance Tables
These tables provide skid distances from known speeds.
These are approximations under the limited conditions listed. Please
note these tables provide an estimate and there are certain assumptions
built into the tables that may not apply to your situation. Most cases
require a professional assessment of the situation to obtain a reliable
skid speed estimate. The introduction of the information from these
tables into any legal proceeding or claim is not advised. The tables are
provided as a service for general information only.
Skid Mark Evidence
This article includes a number of photographs that
help explain skid marks and determining speeds from skid marks. Many
frequent questions are answered in this article. Please take the time to
read this article. The photographs also show the use of a chalk bumper
gun in conducting skid tests.
Vehicle Speed From Skid Marks
This article is a continuation of the Skid Mark
Evidence article. It presents the mathematical formulas used in the
speed calculations and provides more information on the variables that
must be accounted for when determining speeds from skid marks.
