Road Accident Reports

The company’s capabilities extend over time in a wide range of opinion documentations in the event and the final result. Through actual findings, incidents and records of how vehicles are found at the scene of the accident and of rolling traces (such as brake marks, ruts, skid marks, fragments, plastics, glasses, final positions of vehicles and other findings as recorded by the traffic police), using knowledge and experience in combination with the laws of engineering and physical science, Consulting Engineers document the fault based on road accidents and industrial and craft sites.

More extensively, the specialised personnel of KOTSAKOSTOUDIS GROUP company for the expert report of a road accident carry out the following:

enactment of the accident (when possible)
taking statements from witnesses and those involved
study and comment on the autopsy of the traffic police and criminal prosecutions in relation to our findings
cooperation with Public Services
research and collaboration with other sources
use of specialised software for the scientific analysis of the findings and reconstruction of the circumstances of the accident
calculation of damage cost
negotiation with repairers
assessment of collateral damage

Scientific Court Advisors

If the Court considers that the presented evidence (with or without private expert report) is not sufficient to assess the case and it needs assistance from a technical expert in its judgment, then the Court itself orders, as provided from articles 681A and 671 paragraph 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the conduct of another expert report from the judicial experts on the list at his disposal.

The Scientific Court Consultants of our company can enlighten citizens and the Justice on technical issues that sometimes make the big difference as the correct identification of the accident causes and the clarification of the case are essential in the eventual support of a fair judicial outcome.
