Our professional experts are trained and experienced in the Roadway/Highway design, construction, and maintenance are able to provide engineering evaluations of the incident site, adjacent areas, and the vehicles involved when an accident occurs.
According to the National Safety Council, nearly 40,000 deaths and 4.4 million non-fatal injuries occur on our nation’s roadways each year. Roadway accidents can result in injury to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians who can then become involved in the litigation process. Our professional experts are trained and experienced in the highway/roadway design, construction, and maintenance are able to provide engineering evaluations of the roadway or parking lot where the incident occurred, the adjacent areas, and the vehicles involved. From this evaluation, the expert’s conclusions and opinions are reached regarding the actions of the drivers, vehicles, and the design, construction, and maintenance of the roadway itself.

When an accident occurs on a Roadway or Highway, with years of roadway design, construction, and maintenance experience, our licensed experts can determine the hazards inherent in roadway systems, roadway intersections, and railway intersections.
As a roadside safety feature, guiderails and concrete barriers are usually located within the roadway clearzone to protect drivers from roadside hazards. We are aware of the proper use and placement of these roadside safety items.
A well illuminated parking lot is safer for pedestrians and vehicle operators. CESI understand the different requirements for artificial illumination for a variety of parking lot uses.
Pavement defects and poor maintenance practices can result in various types of motor vehicle damage and personal injury. We are able to determine the cause of the pavement defect and evaluate the maintenance procedures that may have led to the defective condition.
Properly placed and maintained pavement markings and signs provide vehicle operators with the information they need about the road ahead. Our experts are very familiar with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the proper placement and maintenance of Pavement Markings and Signage.
Pedestrian conflicts with motor vehicles and injuries on unsafe walking surfaces occur for a variety of reasons. Having a wide range of experience with roadway and pedestrian facilities and determining the cause and nature of injuries to pedestrians, makes us a leader in forensic engineering.
Our experts have many years of roadway design, construction, and maintenance experience as licensed practicing civil engineers. We understand the complex relationships between contractors, sub-contractors, and the owner, as well as the need for public safety in active construction zones.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) along with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) are the primary authoritative policy documents that define the minimum requirements for roadway design and construction. We have years of practical experience using these policy manuals in the design and construction of roadway projects for transportation departments.
Traffic signals provide an increased level of safety and efficiency for the movement of vehicles through complex intersections. Our knowledgeable staff can analyze signal timing/phasing to determine if an incident was caused by a malfunctioning signal or errant driver behavior.
