Own the Entire Investigative Lifecycle

Collision Analytics supports complex transportation, personal injury, and insurance matters from the first call through final resolution. We operate as a single, focused firm with the processes, technology, and expertise to manage the entire investigative lifecycle in-house.

Handling critical processes internally reduces delays, minimizes handoffs, and protects the integrity of evidence. This approach improves analytical consistency and keeps investigations aligned with the timelines that matter to attorneys, claims professionals, and fleet operators.

Whether a matter requires early case evaluation, mediation support, or expert testimony at trial, our work is designed to provide clear answers and dependable analysis when important decisions must be made.

Expertise That Supports Critical Decisions

Effective collision analysis requires more than software models and data interpretation. It requires investigators who understand how collisions unfold in the real world and how evidence behaves from the scene through litigation.

Our experts combine field investigation experience with advanced reconstruction methods to interpret complex evidence, vehicle dynamics, electronic data, and scene documentation. The result is analysis that connects the technical details of a collision to the questions attorneys, claims professionals, and fleet operators actually need answered.

When decisions carry significant financial and legal consequences, clarity and defensibility matter as much as technical accuracy.

Early Intervention That Protects Time-Sensitive Evidence

Time drives exposure in serious collision matters. Critical evidence at a scene can disappear quickly as vehicles move, road conditions change, or electronic data is overwritten.

Our team brings law enforcement investigative experience together with rapid response capability to secure and preserve perishable evidence. This includes scene documentation, vehicle inspections, electronic control module data, electronic records, and other materials that often determine how a collision can ultimately be understood.

Early involvement helps preserve the evidentiary record, reduces uncertainty, and establishes a stronger investigative foundation for the life of the case.

Experience Across the Full Spectrum of Collision Types

Our investigators handle cases involving passenger vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, heavy vehicles, and complex commercial fleet operations. Each collision type introduces different vehicle dynamics, regulatory considerations, operational practices, and evidentiary sources.

Because of this breadth, our team can tailor investigative strategy to the specific circumstances of each incident. Whether supporting litigation, insurance claim evaluation, or major commercial transportation matters, our analysis is aligned with the complexity and exposure involved.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Bryce B., Heavy Vehicle Trucking Expert

Andrew is a true professional who is a master in his craft. After 25 years in law enforcement, I’ve yet to meet anyone as knowledgeable and detailed in his reconstruction work as Andrew. He is THE subject matter expert, and his work is a true passion not just a paycheck. You would be well served to employ Collision Analytics for your training or reconstruction needs.

Seth H., Attorney

Andrew’s done great expert work that’s facilitated settlement in my cases. Very detail oriented.

Dan W., Attorney

I learned everything I know about major crash reconstruction by preparing for trial with Andrew Thomas. As a former prosecutor who tried many vehicle crash and death cases, there was nothing better than having Andrew as an expert witness to inform the judge or jury about how the scene came to be, based on physics and his calculations. Andrew was great to work with, was a great expert witness on the stand, and was always just a phone call away to answer any questions that came up about a reconstruction. I highly recommend Andrew and his abilities in this field.

Daniel D., Attorney

My firm retained Mr. Thomas as an expert accident reconstruction expert in a difficult “phantom” hit and run case in which the insurance company steadfastly refused to cover the incident prior to us filing suit. Mr. Thomas’s report was as thorough and comprehensive as possible given the facts of the case. Mr. Thomas outworked the insurance company’s reconstruction expert by a mile, who is a P.E. with a large forensic engineering firm in the area. Mr. Thomas was a fantastic witness at the deposition and did not back down against a very experienced and aggressive opposing counsel.

Most reconstruction experts do not have years of experience in the courtroom as a law enforcement officer, and they would not have handled this deposition with the strength and grace Mr. Thomas demonstrated. The insurance company initiated settlement discussions soon after Mr. Thomas’s deposition, and through negotiation, we were able to reach a favorable result for our client.

I do not think this would have been possible without Mr. Thomas’s dedicated work on the case. Finally, Mr. Thomas is friendly, professional, and always available to help his clients in any way that he can. I endorse Mr. Thomas without reservation.

Albert W., Attorney

Andrew Thomas makes complicated data understandable. I am glad I retained his services on behalf of my client.
