Webinar: Challenging Accident Reconstruction Evidence

September 29, 2021 //  by Sarah Olson//  Leave a Comment

Live webinar presented by Johnnie Hennings, P.E.
October 7, 2021, 1:00 pm
60 min of CLE credit anticipated

This presentation will begin an overview of the Rule of Evidence 702 which governs testimony by expert witnesses, focusing on why it is important in cases involving accident reconstruction evidence. Mr. Hennings will provide information about the type of work that an accident reconstruction expert performs. The program will cover important differences between investigation and reconstruction and the differences between an investigating and reconstruction officer. Strategies for challenging unreliable accident reconstruction evidence through a motion in limine and voir dire of the opposing expert will be discussed. 

Using several case examples of investigations where the opinions do not meet the requirements of Rule 702, Mr. Hennings will provide examples of fabrications as well as poor work product by investigators and attorneys who failed to challenge the evidence. Examining these case examples will provide practical information about how to probe the reliability of any accident reconstruction expert’s opinion.
