Chandler Police Receive Grant For Accident Reconstruction Training

When a person is involved in a motor vehicle accident, they could be eligible to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit. However, in order to win an injury or accident lawsuit to recover those damages, the victim must prove the accident was caused by the negligence or reckless actions of another.  As you can imagine, this can be difficult to prove. Often times the people involved in the accident don't remember exactly what happened, and then it usually turns into a matter of he said she said.  And while the police do their best to write their reports as accurately as possible, sometimes it takes an advanced investigation to determine who or what really is a fault for the accident.

One way of investigating the accident is by recreating the accident. Accident reconstructionists are trained to recreate the course of events that eventually lead to the accident based on testimony from the parties and any witnesses, as well as other facts the police gathered during their investigation. By recreating the accident itself police are often able to identify the root cause of the accident and who is at fault.

As you can imagine, having a highly trained accident reconstruction team is invaluable to any police force. Well, thanks to an $11,395 grant from the state Governor's Office of Highway Safety, the Chandler Police Department now has the money to fund advanced traffic crash reconstruction training. Officers in the department's traffic unit accident investigation team will now be able to take courses on advanced investigative techniques in motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians and motorcycles.
