A team designed to make the impossible possible

 

We wanted everyone to know, during these trying times, that we’re still open for business and can provide you with the same services you’ve come to expect from Stratton, Moore & Painter, Inc. We are still able to process accident scenes, perform “black box” downloads on vehicles, and we can interview law enforcement officers and witnesses via phone. Thank you all for your continued support and please do not hesitate to contact us if we can help in any way.

Stratton, Moore, & Painter, Inc. was established in 1980 as a firm dedicated to accident investigation and reconstruction.  We have provided technical expertise and consultation to major plaintiff and defendant firms, insurance companies, claims adjusters, large trucking companies, investigators and private individuals.  We continue to provide a combination of the best practical experience, technical background, expert testimony and court exhibits available using the latest equipment for detailing the accident site and for reconstruction simulation.

 

 

More than just a quick response team

 

Stratton, Moore, & Painter, Inc. is more than just an accident investigation and reconstruction agency – it's your one stop shop, and any good investigation comes with options to win your case.  When we built Stratton, Moore, & Painter, Inc., we handpicked these services to offer.

 

 

Quick Response Team

responds 24 hours a day, 365 days a year 

  • Experienced investigators that have:

    • Police and highway patrol investigation and reconstruction experience

    • The latest in technical training and instruction

  • Eliminates inaccuracies that occur with time, prevents evidence disappearance and limits evidence deterioration

  • Locates moved vehicles or witnesses that have left the scene

  • Works with local law enforcement agencies to provide additional unbiased expertise in investigation and reconstruction

  • Provides a very detailed inspection of the vehicle or vehicles involved to determine possible failure, patterns of damage, and direction of travel

  • Completes laser surveying and drawings of the accident site to collect data for reconstruction

  • Interviews all witnesses to determine fact from opinion

Investigation & Reconstruction

Experienced investigators

  • Our inspection team completes a detailed inspection of the vehicle or vehicles involved to determine possible equipment failure, patterns of damage, and direction of travel

  • Photograph all points of interest, positional information, and all aspects of the damaged vehicle or vehicles involved

  • Complete all laser measurements of the accident site for future detailed site drawings and computerized drawings, with all landmarks included

  • Take samples of evidence for future analysis

  • Interview the parties involved in the accident, witnesses to the accident, and local law enforcement that investigated the accident

  • Report all findings in written form to all concerned parties

  • Construct exhibits from all site data

  • Analyze all photographs, drawings, videos, reports and statements for accuracy

  • Give expert testimony as required with explanations as to their findings

  • Prepare a 3-dimensional computerized simulation that is dependent on exact data that is taken from the accident site

 

Event Data Recorder Imaging

example:  Event Data Recorder

  • Data can be lost, so a quick response to capture data before that happens, for example: EDR Imaging is just one of the ways to do this

  • EDR Imaging from cars and trucks can be accessed and downloaded either electronically or bench downloaded from box directly by our trained professionals

HVE Simulation

Human, vehicle, environment Simulation

  • HVE (Human, Vehicle, Environment) simulation is a 3-dimensional model, based on the laws of physics, studying the interaction of human response, vehicle reaction, and the effect of the environment on the accident. Studying their interaction using HVE- compatible reconstruction and simulation models provides accurate simulation and not just animation of the occurrence

This is just an sample of what we can do, for a more detailed description of our services, click below.

Methodology

 

Our professionals use the latest equipment and computer software to recover information, visually reconstruct situations, and much more to provide an accurate account of the scene.

  • Animations- Pictorial representation of how an accident occurs

  • Simulations- Pictorial representation of how an accident occurs obeying the laws of physics

  • Rec-Tec Software- Formulates calculations in a spreadsheet format

  • EDR (Event Data Recorder)- Records imaging from cars and trucks to electronically download or bench download information from the box directly

  • CDR (Collision Damage Retrieval)

  • ECM (Electronic Control Modules)

  • Level 1 Inspections of Commercial Motor Vehicles- Including measuring push rod strokes electronically and looking for potential defects enumerated by the North American Out-of-Service Criteria

  • Skid Test Vericom

  • Total Station to capture scene in 3-Dimension
