Apex Dynamics provides independent forensic analysis and expert witness services for civil litigation involving traffic collisions and commercial vehicle incidents throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. All work is conducted to Daubert standards.
Physics-based analysis determining vehicle speeds, trajectories, impact points, and collision dynamics. Reconstruction methodology follows IPTM training standards and is grounded in peer-reviewed literature, including published research on human factors, looming, and gap acceptance where applicable.
Final work product includes a written forensic report with methodology, data sources, analysis, and conclusions — structured to withstand cross-examination and Daubert challenge in Oregon and federal courts.
Experienced EDR and CDR data extraction and interpretation across passenger vehicles and commercial motor vehicles. Data recovered includes pre-crash speed, brake application, throttle position, steering input, seatbelt status, and airbag deployment events.
EDR data is critical physical evidence in collision cases and should be seized and preserved as soon as possible following an incident. Apex Dynamics can coordinate rapid evidence preservation when time is a factor.
Brian Hardy provides deposition and trial testimony as a retained expert in crash reconstruction, EDR analysis, and commercial vehicle operations. Opinions are formed to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty and are supported by peer-reviewed methodology, published research, and documented data.
Apex Dynamics works with both plaintiff and defense counsel. A conflicts check is available prior to retention.
Extensive commercial motor vehicle investigation experience including prior Federal Level 1 and Oregon Level 2 inspector training. Services include FMCSR compliance review, ELD and ECM data analysis, brake system inspection, and driver qualification file review.
FARO and Trimble certified terrestrial laser scanning produces millimeter-accurate scene models with fully measurable point clouds. Combined with FAA Part 107 licensed aerial UAV documentation, Apex Dynamics delivers a complete spatial record of the collision environment — suitable for court exhibit preparation, animation, or peer expert review.
