If your cases demand photographic evidence, make your pictures the best they can be with our Obenski Folding Photo Scale. The scale is highly legible with its use of alternating black and white markings at one-inch increments. To further distinguish measurements, each alternating one-foot segment is painted in either white or red. This is likely the most legible photographic scale available today and will improve the presentability of demonstrative photographic evidence.

Riding a motorcycle has been estimated to be five times as complex as driving an automobile, and reconstructing an accident can be equally more difficult. This is the newest, fourth edition that includes insights from its two newest contributors, Jack Debes, Ph.D. and Eric Shapiro, A.S.E. related to the biomechanics of a motorcycle accident as well as new ways of looking at motorcycle steering dynamics. Part I was written by a professional engineer who has reconstructed nearly 300 motorcycle accidents and safely ridden motorcycles for more than thirty-five years. Part 2 includes legal analysis by Paul Hill, Esq. Lastly, this edition includes accident cause factors and identification of countermeasures, commonly known as "The Hurt Report," on CD-ROM. This important government study is only now being revisited, but to date this is the de facto study related to motorcycle accidents.

Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction and Litigation

by Kenneth S. Obenski, P.E., Paul F. Hill, Jack C. Debes, Ph.D. and Eric Shapiro

 

 

This book is not an advanced engineering text. Rather, it is a practical presentation with traffic accident reconstruction principles presented in a simple, understandable manner so that the reader will easily retain these important concepts. The engineering principles involved are introduced at the elementary level, and in many cases equations used in freshman physics are derived. The authors believe that the derivations are presented in the simplest manner possible so that the reader will retain this material.
