Book Description
Written for all members of the investigative team, this book is an in-depth study of the causes of motor vehicle injuries and deaths. It provides a scientific examination of circumstances underlying an incident and allows for a reasoned analysis of injuries. The book studies the nature and extent of injuries sustained during a variety of incident scenarios. It addresses the behavioral and medical factors that impair human abilities and cause vehicular incidents, and aids the pathologist in determining cause of death by focusing on toxicology and the post mortem examination. The book contains more than 100 photographs and an appendix on the rudiments of crash scene investigations.
