Accident statistics show that approximately 1% of all traffic accidents are true accidents. The remaining 99% of all traffic accidents are ‘crashes’ which either involve human factors (90%), vehicle failure or mechanical failure (1%), and road geometry, environs and surface (8%).

Identification of all factors which have led to the cause of a crash is vital if the degree of responsibility of those involved is to be accurately identified. In today’s society allocation of degree of responsibility may involve many thousands of dollars.

Proper identification, recording and interpretation of the physical evidence at the crash scene can assist in determining where, when, who, why and how the crash happened.

Road Accident Investigation Service Pty Ltd has been formed to provide members of the legal fraternity, insurance companies, loss assessors and the general public with a dedicated professional to search out the factors involved in road accidents.
