marine accident reconstruction

Marine accidents are unique to other types of accidents due to the uncertain nature of the aquatic environment. The particular accident aspects of influencing environmental factors, evidence gathering techniques, and numerous others are carefully considered and applied in marine scenarios. A distinction between conventional and marine accident reconstruction is the presence of water patterns as they continually shift with no real permanent path for marine vehicles. Often upon investigation, limited evidence exists in the water of the accident which differs from automobile accidents where fragments and other scene information is more available. By primarily focusing on the vehicle evidence a compilation of possible accident scenarios are formed and carefully contemplated so that an accurate depiction of events may be realized and presented.
