George Ripsom & Associates was started in 1985 to specialize in the narrow field of Traffic Collision Investigation and Reconstruction of Forensic Science. As time has progressed, the need for this specialty has grown exponentially. The reason is that traffic collisions are violent events comprised of complicated dynamics and injury mechanisms. Law enforcement officers are no longer educated in these areas, and cannot perform these functions. This leads to incorrect determinations of guilt and cause, and inappropriate charges being filed. The physics principles are usually confusing to the inexperienced, and therefore require clear, concise and thorough analysis. This analysis must then be able to be provided to a trier-of-fact in a manner that they can easily understand. A qualified traffic collision reconstruction expert is a vital tool in making the correct determination of events and relating them properly. Any time a traffic offense or collision occurs, a collision reconstruction expert should be retained immediately. They will prove invaluable at all stages of the trial or settlement process. The level and extent of the services provided varies in every case. Involvement may be as simple as a case review or as complex as an animation or 3d simulation or even a reenactment.
