The Process When engaged to investigate a collision we examine, survey and photograph the collision locus. With road traffic collisions the primary physical evidence lies at the collision locus so the quicker the preliminary survey can be completed, the best collection of evidence will be achieved. Secondary physical evidence is obtained from witness statements. AOCA have expert experience in taking witness statements and gathering the relevant data to help reconstruct a collision. As with the gathering of primary physical evidence, the sooner secondary evidence can be gathered, the more reliable the evidence will be. AOCA pride itself in its rapid response time and the experience to compile the relevant evidence to best reconstruct a collision.
