**Our Popular FLAT RATES Packages for vehicle accidents**
Damage consistency of passenger vehicle accidents……………$980.00
Desktop photos analysis of your accident.
To determine if the damage between the two vehicles are consistent with the scenario of the accident and if the accident really happened.
Simply send/email us all the photos of the vehicles involved in the accident, fax us a copy of the police report if any, give us a short description of what happened in the accident.
We will study all the pictures carefully, examine the height, width and pattern of damage and scratch marks on vehicles using photogrametry and let you know of our results. You will receive a report of our finding, unless you instruct us not to write a report.
We need to receive the money before issuing the report. To expedite the process we have made it easy for you to pay with your company credit card.
Preliminary analysis of your tractor-trailer accident up to six vehicles collision……………$2500.00
Low velocity, crush impact, total accident reconstruction.
A computer analysis and accident reconstruction of your case based on all the data and pictures of all the vehicles that you have available.
The purpose of this package is to help you to find out what kind of a case do you have. What was the approximate speed of the vehicles, the delta-V and possibility of injury to the occupants of each vehicle. This is just a preliminary report and we cannot testify on that, unless we examine the vehicles and the accident site. The results will be discussed over the phone first. If desired a letter report will be issued. The check for $2500.00 should accompany the pictures and the rest of the file, before we start.
