Road Traffic Accident Investigation Edinburgh and Glasgow

Accident Scene Examination and Evidence Gathering

Our accident scene examinations follow Police Scotland and Crown Office expectations while remaining wholly independent. We secure, measure and document the locus: road layout, signage, visibility, lighting, gradients and surface condition, noting weather and traffic management.

Using calibrated devices, we capture skid, yaw and debris fields, vehicle rest positions and damage profiles. We review witness statements and police procedures for compliance and potential error.

Scale plan drawings, annotated photographs and, where helpful, high-definition video are produced to evidential standards, creating a reliable foundation for reconstruction, causation analysis and liability assessment under Scots law.

Vehicle Inspection and Damage Assessment

Our forensic vehicle examinations determine whether mechanical condition contributed to the collision or injury outcome. We assess braking, steering, tyres, suspension, lighting and restraint systems, photograph and measure damage, and preserve components where necessary.
