Not every pedestrian or bicycle incident is as straightforward as it first appears. From traditional pedestrian and bicycle incidents to the growing presence of e-bikes and e-scooters, collision investigations increasingly require a deeper understanding of roadway design, traffic controls, and engineering analysis.
This webinar provides a practical framework for evaluating the factors impacting liability determinations, evidence preservation, and the evaluation of causation and damages.
Join us as we...
- Recognize when roadway design, traffic control devices, or signal timing may contribute to a collision
- Identify why and when e-bike classification matters — how operating restrictions and speed capabilities can affect liability determinations
- Assess the role of visibility, perception-reaction time, and roadway conditions in collisions
- Examine common pedestrian and bicycle collision scenarios and the factors that influence fault and collision avoidability
- Share best practices for early scene documentation and evidence preservation to prevent spoliation and support liability evaluations
